StorageSync automates the back up of data from your computer’s local hard drive to a 
selected media drive. StorageSync provides the flexibility of backing up individual and 
multiple files and directories. 

When you back up data, StorageSync gives you the option of performing a full or incremental 
backup. In addition, StorageSync lets you save the backup results to a log. You can also set up 
an automated reminder that prompts you to back up data on a periodic basis. The Professional 
version of StorageSync also lets you compress and encrypt backed up data and use file 
revisioning (these features are described later in this chapter).  

A Media Profiler option in the Settings window lets StorageSync “remember” the files and 
directories you selected to back up. Selected files are remembered even if you switch between 
secondary windows or exit the program. This feature is especially useful if you back up the 
same files, because it eliminates having to select the same files each time you want to perform 
a backup. 

After you back up data, you can use the procedure in the next chapter to restore the data. 

The following procedure describes how to use StorageSync to back up data. For detailed 
information about a particular step, refer to the section referenced in the step.

Be sure the media has enough space available to hold the backed up data. If it 
doesn’t, either change media or upgrade to the Professional Edition of StorageSync 
and use the program’s Compression feature. 

 

 

Do not back up data that is being used by another application. Close all files before 
you back them up. 

  Attach your removable media drive to your computer. 

  Perform one of the following steps: 

  From the Welcome window or a secondary window, click the BACKUP button. 

  In the System tray, click the StorageSync icon and click Start Backup. 

Either step displays the Backup window (see Figure 14).
