Panasonic LF-D321 manual Using FileSafe backup software

ENGLISH

Using FileSafe (backup software)

FileSafe

This software can automatically back up data in specified folders, or back up only updated folders, enabling you to protect important files efficiently.

(It cannot be used to back up the operating system.)

Copying in the same file format as the actual file

When a job is run, a folder with the same name as the job name is created in the root directory of the DVD-RAM disc inserted into the DVD-RAM/R drive, and the contents of the selected source folder are copied in the actual file format.

As a result, copied folders and files can be used in Explorer and other applications.

Copying and restoring

The following modes are supported.

1.Normal Copy

Same as Explorer’s Copy in that the selected source folder is simply copied to the DVD-RAM/R drive.

•The entire contents of a file are copied the first time it is selected. After that, only new or changed files or folders are copied.

•Data erased from the copy destination remain in the original.

2.Clone Copy

Duplicates the contents of the selected source folders onto the DVD-RAM. (Deletes all data in the copy destination and copies the data from the original.)

3.Synchronized Copy

Files which are not the same on the original and this DVD-RAM/R drive are copied to corre- sponding folders, and the folder contents are updated to match each other. (This enables you to keep up-to-date files on different computers.)

4.Restore

Copy files on the DVD-RAM/R drive back onto the source drive to restore data.

Scheduled Execution function

Three Scheduled Execution modes are supported: “Keyboard Not Use Mode”, “Clock Mode” and “Interval Mode”. This allows you to define a schedule to automatically execute pre-configured jobs at a time best suited for the data and usage of the system.

Management of copy Jobs using Job files

It is possible to configure settings for each copy mode (“Normal Copy”, “Clone Copy” and “Synchro- nized Copy”) which are saved in a Job file.

This allows you to execute the copy, with all the corresponding settings, simply by selecting the job.
