Client to Server Sync / Backup

Tutorial‎ > ‎

Now we can create our first task, this is available either under clients as below or by right clicking on the client in the client tab.

Firstly set the task type, this will determin the direction of the sync as well as what options will be availiable for the sync. In this example I have setup the most common task type which is a client to server sync, I have explained what the tick boxes do in a bullet list.

As you can see below this task will take a backup of E:\isos and back it up to the local path on my F: drive. The client will make a shadow copy and run the backup from there (so live files such as VHDs and databases can be copied without closing them).
Rsync will skip and files where the size and dates matches.
Rsync will only transfer the parts of the file that have changed (usefull for large files over slow links)
Yintersync will keep up to 3 itterations of the files that are changed

Please note: There is a detailed breakdown of what each of these settings means in the FAQ

Finally we need to create a schedule to attach this task to.

Give the schedule a name and tick all of the times and days you would like it to run, then simply tick the tasks in the bottom box that you would like this schedule to activate.

That's it, done.
