Archiving Files

Archive is another type of backup you can do with Retrospect Express. Note that using this function will permanently remove files from the source drive and place them on the destination drive.

If your destination drive is lost or damaged, you will have lost your only copy of these files.

Can I do other types of backup?

Yes. Using Retrospect Express, you can also create a script to back up multiple revisions of each file or to back up multiple drives or folders to a single backup set. This is the second type of backup you can create and customize. To access files contained in the backup set, use Retrospect Express.

More Information

To learn more about creating a backup script, go to: www.maxtorkb.com and enter “OneTouch” in the search function. Refer to the Express User’s Guide for detailed information about creating custom scripts and backup sets.
