Notes

You can create up to 10 Home Server backup profiles.

If a USB hard disk drive is not connected to the Home Server at the time of starting the Home Server backup
process, the Home Server backup process will not begin.

If a Home Server backup process is in progress at the time of starting another process, the second Home Server
backup process will begin as soon as the first one completes. If multiple Home Server backup processes are
scheduled to start at the same time, the processes will begin in a random order.

If a restore process is in progress at the time of starting a Home Server backup process, the Home Server backup
process will begin as soon as the restore process is completed.

When the USB hard disk drive has multiple partitions in FAT32 format, backup files will be created in the
partition with the first partition number.

If the same backup file name is specified in more than one Home Server backup profile, starting a Home Server
backup process will overwrite the backup data that was created by the previous process.

Starting the Home Server backup process for a deleted folder will remove the backup data that was created by
the previous process.

If the backup source folder contains a file with the size of over 4 GB, it will be divided into pieces of 4 GB.
Starting a Home Server backup process for such a folder will create the folder with the same name as the 4 GB
file and stores the divided files and the division information before making a backup file.
