| 457712 | 2006-05-25 14:47:00 | Been trying to get a backup system set up on my laptop and did a search of the freeware backup software out there. There are quite a few - Cobian backup looks quite good and simple, but Indigo Backup has an AES encryption option that I want so I've gone with that one. The only issue is that Indigo Backup appears to be targeted at business backup systems with loads of users etc. So although it was really easy to set up, it has loads of other options of how to do things that I'm not currently using. One of them is called 'Cloning', and does a kind of roll-back thing with your backup. Does anyone know how to set this up as the box to do it is currently greyed out on the software. Thre is a help file with the software and they do have an online help file here www.indigoprime.co.uk but it's 170 odd pages!!! Cheers! |

Nope need a backup roll-back thing rather than a clone . Looking at the Indigo Backup software this cloning keeps a record with multiple instances of a file (up to 10) when you change it, so that you can roll back to a previous version . It keeps these versions on the backup drive or server . Think I've figured it now, I needed to register the software at the site before it would work - did it this am |
