Creating and performing backup

Xopero can make a backup of shared data on local network. To create a valid backup set, you need an address to the resources in UNC format as well as valid access credentials.

Network drives backup requires adding Windows user rights to the Xopero_backupagent service: Admin rights to the service.

Within a single backup set you can configure a backup of more than one network locations. To create a network data backup set, launch a Backup set wizard by clicking New backup set in My backup sets tab.

In the field What you want to backup? select Advanced copy and then Network paths from the drop-down list. Remember to Name your backup set.

To configure backup of a single network location, go to Define next Network Drive area and enter the UNC path (ex. \\192.168.1.30\documents) in the Folder path field. If selected network share requires autentication, check the Authenticate option and enter credentials (username and password) of a user, who has rights to this share.

By clicking Add, selected path will be added to the backup set. If you enter wrong path or credentials, application will show you an error.

The new share will be shown on the list of added paths as well as new tab will be shown, where you can edit its configuration.

To create the new backup set, click Save
