Running Full And Quick Archives - McAfee MTP09EMB1RAA - Total Protection 2009 User Manual

Running full and quick archives

You can run two types of archive: full or quick. When you run a
full archive, you archive a complete set of data based on the
watch file types and locations that you have set up. When you run
a quick archive, you archive only those watched files that have
changed since the last full or quick archive.
By default, Backup and Restore is scheduled to run a full archive
of the watch file types in your watch locations every Monday at
9:00 a.m and a quick archive every 48 hours after the last full or
quick archive. This schedule ensures that a current archive of
your files is maintained at all times. However, if you do not want
to archive every 48 hours, you can adjust the schedule to suit your
needs.
If you want to archive the contents of your watch locations on
demand, you can do so at any time. For example, if you modify a
file and want to archive it, but Backup and Restore is not
scheduled to run a full or quick archive for another few hours,
you can archive the files manually. When you archive files
manually, the interval that you set for automatic archives is reset.
You can also interrupt an automatic or manual archive if it occurs
at an inappropriate time. For example, if you are performing a
resource-intensive task and an automatic archive starts, you can
stop it. When you stop an automatic archive, the interval that you
set for automatic archives is reset.
Schedule automatic archives
You can set the frequency of full and quick archives to ensure that
your data is always protected.
