postheadericon Setup DeltaCopy

Q. How do I setup DeltaCopy

A. Start DeltaCopy from the Start Menu.

Before you can go any further you will need to receive a confirmation from us that your User has been setup on our Server.

Generally this DeltaCopy can be found under:

  1. Start
  2. All Programs
  3. DeltaCopy
  4. DeltaCopy Client

We will not be using the DeltaCopy Server, as we have our own specialized servers.

This will open up a blank DeltaCopy Session.

From this Client window,

  1. Double Click on Add New Profile.
  2. Enter a Profile Name. (Any name will do)
  3. Enter a Host Name. (We will provide this to you)
  4. Enter a Virtual Directory Name. (We will provide this to you)

  • Click on Test Connection to see if you have been granted access to the backup server.
    Please call us if there are any problems. 06-370-9210 or 06-379-6668
  • Finally Click on Add Profile.

You will now have a profile in your list.

Now we need to add file and folders to this profile.

Click on the Add Folder Button.

  • Navigate and choose a folder and click on OK.
  • Do this as many times as needed to create your backup list.

 

 Next we want to goto the Options Tab.

  • We must UNTICK the Remove deleted files from server options, as this will protect you from accidently deleting files and then having the backup also delete them.


  • Under Authentication, enter the Username and Password you registered with.
    (If you use a name already taken we will have let you know in the Registration Feedback.)



Scheduling Automatic Backups

You should have already setup a Local Backup User
  • Next we want to Schedule this Backup to run automatically
    • Click on the Modify Schedule button
    • The Scheduled Tasks window opens with your back up name on it.
    • This is where we want to change the Run as: to the backup user we previously created.
  • Click on the Set password... button and enter the backup password of backup.
  • Enter the password a second time in the confirm area and click on OK

Under Schedule tab choose a time of day you want the backup to run.

  • Around 3:00am would be good.
  • Make sure you set the Schedule Task to daily and Schedule Task Daily to Every 1 Days
  • Click on Apply and OK


Finally we need to set up mail notification.

  • Click on the email icon
  • Fill out the email window similar to this but with your settings.


  • Click on Test Email button.
    • YOu should receive a test email.
    • If this does not work call us.
  • Click on Ok

All done:

Click on the X to close DeltaCopy.


Tomorrow you should have an email confirming that nights backup.
If you have any problems call us.
