Automatic Backup. With eSureIT you can manually backup or set an automatic backup schedule.
You probably already know that with the eSureIT online backup service, data backups are completely automatic and you can also manually initiate a backup at any time. But did you also know that backups are easy to set up?
Setting up your backups is simple.
The first thing that you will do when you start using the eSureIT secure online data backup service software, is to create a backup set. The backup set is the list of the files that you want to backup and the schedule of when you want the backups to occur. With eSureIT, you do not have to select each and every file that you wish to backup. Our software includes wizards that make it effortless to choose the files for your backup set.
You have two options for selecting files. You can choose files according to the folders that they reside in or by their file types. You would choose to select files by folder if, for example, you wanted to backup every file in My Documents. You would simply select the My Documents folder from a Windows Explorer-like view of your hard drive. eSureIT allows you to select multiple folders, to exclude certain folders and to choose individual files to backup.
The second option of selecting files is by file type. Built into eSureIT is a list of commonly used application programs. For example, you could setup a backup set that backed up all of the Microsoft Word and Excel data files on your hard drive, by simply clicking on two boxes (Word and Excel). Every time a backup occurs, the eSureIT online backup software will automatically find all of your Word and Excel documents. To offer you even more power for managing your data backup sets, you have the option of including or excluding specific folders or even excluding specific types of files.
Once you finish selecting what to backup, the online backup software can calculate how much data you have chosen.
Setting up your secure online data backup service schedule is also very easy. The online backup software gives you the option of setting a different start time for each day of the week. You also can choose not to run backups on certain days. Or, you may want to keep the default schedule, which is to backup each night Monday through Friday.
Create multiple backup sets.
In addition to being able to edit or change a data backup set, eSureIT also allows you to set up multiple backup sets. Multiple backup sets are useful, for example, if you want to backup the same files more than once a day or backup certain files daily and other files weekly.
