Operation Manual

Example

You might want to use the following backup strategy for a file server.

Back up the critical files twice a day on a schedule. Set the retention rule "Delete backups older

than" 7 days. This means that after every backup the software will check for backups older than 7

days and delete them automatically.

Run backup of the server's system volume manually as required. For example, after the operating

system updates. Manually delete the backups that you do not need.

12.1.4 How do I secure my data?

Backups can be encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cryptographic algorithm

and the password you set. This guarantees that your data is not accessed by anyone else.
