Data Protection Software settings profiles

Previous Top Next |
All of your backup settings, including your account information, folder list, schedule, and options are
included in your settings profile.
The system allows you to export your settings profile to a file. You can then import the settings back into
the Data Protection Software. This process can be very helpful if you are restoring your settings after a crash or
to more quickly setup Data Protection on another computer with similar settings.. To export and import
your settings profile, use the File -> Import Profile and File -> Export Profile menu commands.
It is also possible to configure multiple settings profiles on the same machine. This is useful if you want to
setup two different service plans on the same machine, or if you want to setup a different backup schedule
for part of your data.
The Data Protection Software only displays settings from one settings profile at a time, which is called the active
settings profile. To switch to a different settings profile, use the File -> Switch Profile. . . menu command.
NOTE: The System Status page displays log files for all settings profiles, not just the active settings profile.
The File -> Switch Profile menu command is also used to add a new settings profile. From the Configuration
Profiles window, press the green + button to add a new settings profile.
NOTE: An easy way to configure a new settings profile is to copy all of the settings from your first settings
profile. Use File -> Export Profile to export your first settings profile. Then switch to the new profile, and use File -> Import Profile to import all of your settings. Then, go to the My Account page
and set the user name
appropriately. The Schedule will also need to be set again after you
import a profile.
