Although by default when you install Oops!Backup all the folders configured for backup and versioning have the same settings, you can still configure different settings for specific folders by using Oops!Backup Special Folders.
By using Oops!Backup Special Folders you can create different configurations per folder: for example a particular folder can be configured to be backed up every 5 minutes, while all other folders continue to be backed up every hour.
To create a special folder follow the instructions below:
- Open the Oops!Backup Quick Launch by clicking on the Oops!Backup tray icon
- Click on 'Manage ...' to open the Oops!Backup Manager
- Click Add / Remove Backup Folders on the left of the screen.
- Once clicked the folder review panel will change to show all the hard drives and folders on your computer.
- Navigate to the folder that you want to assign different settings to, right click on it and select Set as Special Folder.
In this how-to we will assign a 5 minute backup frequency to a folder called Website - Once you click the Set as Special Folder menu item a window will be displayed. In this window you can configure the backup frequency for this folder. Since this folder changes frequently we will set this folder to backup a version of files that changed every 5 minutes.
- Apart from the frequency you can also set other settings such as Plug and Protect, ReverseDelta and handling of locked files. In this example we will leave all the settings on default and only modify the backup frequency. Configure the frequency to 5 minutes and click the Create button.
- When you click the Create button the folder icon in the folder view will change to a star, Click Save to confirm the settings.
- To view your new Special Folder open the BackInTime browser and browse to the respective folder.
