When creating backup archives, many options are available, including file inclusion and
exclusion, automatic consolidation, adding comments, compression, archive splitting,
multilevel security, and making reserve copies of backups.
Try & Decide
A powerful Seagate feature, called "Try&Decide" allows for the creation of a secure,
controlled temporary workspace on a computer without requiring you to install special
virtualization software. With Try&Decide you can perform various system operations
without being concerned about accidental damage to the operating system, programs, or
data.
Try&Decide feature allows you to perform potentially dangerous operations such as
software installation or opening e-mail attachments without putting your PC at risk. It
does this by creating essentially a controlled, secure, temporary workspace that is
insulated from the rest of your computer.
NAS to NAS Backup
With BlackArmor Backup, small business and individual contractors can back up files
from their computer(s) to the BlackArmor NAS. But, other types of backup operations,
which are accessed through the BlackArmor Manager Web management interface, are
available and can be scheduled to run automatically:
BlackArmor NAS to a second NAS. An Ethernet cable connects the two units
•
directly, avoiding network traffic. This requires a second BlackArmor unit.
Replication can also take place through the network, initiated from the
BlackArmor Web manager.
BlackArmor NAS to a USB device (flash drive or hard drive)
•
USB device to BlackArmor NAS
•
These backup operations are managed through the Web browser administrative
interface. Under the "Storage" pull-down menu, select "Backup Manager."
