Running Novadisk File Backups:

The NovaDisk file-backup program allows the user to choose which files

to backup, and allows automatic scheduling of backup routines. Use

this program to select critical files you must back up on a daily basis.

You may also set NovaDisk to run only Incremental Backups. Incre-

mental Backups will only backup files that have been changed since

the previous backup (unchanged files are ignored). The

The first time you run a backup procedure, N ovaDisk will ask you to name

your backup file. All NovaDisk backup files are assigned the extension

.QIX.

NovaDisk backup files also begin with the “000” prefix (the first backup

will have the prefix “001”, the next backup with the same name will have

a “002” prefix). When you have specified the location and name of the

backup file, press the Save button. NovaDisk will start the backup, and

a progress window will appear.

The progress window is designed to provide some useful feedback on

the progress of the backup. The display will show: files being backed

up, the number of files, percent completed, and how long the backup

has been running. Please note that if you have the “verify” option turned

on, NovaDisk will immediately read-back and verify the contents of the

backup file after it is created.
