Backing up your data

guest directory has a red check because its entire contents
were selected.
When a directory has a red check, all files and subdirectories
it contains are included in a backup, including files or
directories added at a later time. For example, if you click the
users directory twice, which changes the icon to a red check,
save this file selection, any backup in the future that uses this
file selection will include all user files and directories, even
ones added after the file selection list was first created.
Once you have established a custom list of files for a backup,
this list can be used for subsequent backups. The Magnia
SG20 will remember your list of files selected, and use this
each time you do a backup until you change this list.
Selecting backup location
Once you have selected the files that will be included in the
backup, you can select where the backup will be placed.
You can place the backup file on a local client computer that
has been configured with a shared directory. You can also
place the backup on an Internet FTP site (after signing up for
this service).
Placing your backup files on a local computer can be very
convenient, and because the local computer is accessed
through the high speed LAN, this method can accommodate
large backups. Using a local client as a holding place for your
backup has the disadvantage of not preserving your data in
case of fire or theft.
To designate a local client computer as a backup location,
click Set Location next to the Network option.
The Magnia SG20 surveys your network to find available
shared directories on client computers. This may take a few
seconds. When completed, the screen will show the clients in
your network. If a computer symbol appears with a plus sign
in a box, click the plus sign to list the computers in the
workgroup.
