Start backup

A click on "Start backup..." opens the start window of the backup procedure in which the title of the backup can be defined. It's important to use a unique title. The title is shown in the "Restore", "JobQueue" and "Report" windows. SIEGFRIED BACKUP will define the title as "- no title -" if the title is left undefined.

Not available in the demo version!
Increased security can be obtained for a backup by designating a password. The password is used to access the data during later restoration and as a keyword to crypt the backup data.

Another special feature useful for creating more than one backup simultaneously is the "Submit Job on hold" setting. The backup is kept "on hold" when this setting is activated instead of starting the backup immediately after clicking the "Ok" button. The backup job is then added to the job queue with the status "Pause", which means that the backup job must be manually activated (using the "Start" or "Continue" in the "JobQueue" window) instead of starting automatically. For a normal backup "Submit job on hold" isn't neccessary.
The "Ok" button starts the backup. All settings are passed on to the job queue and the backup starts. A status window informs the user of the progress of the backup job.
