Once you have completed the
New Backup Setup Wizard the backup software is ready and should
start at the allotted time you have assigned to it.
You should see the Net Star
Vault OBM icon in your Notification Area (normally located on the
right hand side of your tool bar). If this Icon is up then the
backup software is running and waiting for its allotted time to back
up.
Few things to remember when
backing up:
Ensure that your server/PC
does not have any power saving settings or screen savers on when
backing up.
If the file is in-use, the
backup software will not backup that file. So ensure that you close
all applications and files when backing up.
If you have multiple backup
systems ensure that they do not overlap the backups.
If you are on a trail
account you have 30 days until the account is removed from the
system along with everything it has backed up.
Once you have loaded the
program you can click on the gear on the bottom left hand side of
the window and you can play with all of the settings on what is
backed up (Backup Source) and when it is backs up (Backup Schedule).
