Drive selection |
---|
A drive selection is like a table. It is divided into rows and columns. The head of every column contains its respective title. The width of a column can be changed in either direction. To change the width of a column simply click on the right separation line of the column title and move the mouse until the desired width is reached.
Not available in the demo version!
The columns can be arranged in any way. To rearrange a column click on the column and simply move it horizontally to the desired position. A click on the column title selects the sort sequence. The initial click on a column title selects that column as the prefered column in the preference criterium. The column title is underlined to show which column is prefered. Following clicks on the prefered sort column alter the sort sequence (ascent/descent).
The selection lists all currently mounted drives. Mounting and/or unmounting one or more drives refreshes the drive list immediately.
To select a drive to backup, simply highlight the appropriate line with a click of the left mouse button. To remove a selection only a second click is neccessary.
Deselecting all entries of the drive selection can be accomplished by simply using the "Selection/Clear" command of the "File" menu. The command deselects all entries in the file list and clears the internal recording list. By using the "Selection/All" command of the "File" menu, all entries of the drive selection area can be selected, for example to create a complete backup of all mounted drives. The command "Clear" and "All" are also available by using the popup menu of the right mouse button.The current selection recording can be saved to the preferences of Siegfried Backup. To save the current setting use the "Save" command of the "Preferences" menu. At the next startup of Siegfried Backup the preferences (and the recording list) are automatically loaded and set. If the Flag "AutoPrefs" of the "Preferences" menu is activated, Siegfried Backup saves the preferences automatically when Siegfried Backup quits.
All Settings for a quick backup can be saved to a file as a pattern and if needed reloaded. For more information see chapter "Loading and saving job settings".
