As the name implies it is a file backup application, which schedules and
copies your items 'as is' to a location of your choice. Its main uses range from
scheduling a default group of items to backup, to setting multiple items as scheduled
tasks to backup. Your files are never distorted from their original format(s), meaning
they are not compressed or converted to different storage file formats.

AsaBackup, use it for backing up and maintaining copies of original files in different
locations, so that when you change a file or update a file you can always find a
copy of the orginal item to a specific date. Folders with multiple files and sub
directories can also be scheduled for backups in the same manner.
Set up your tasks for a daily, weekly, or bi-weekly cycle. Even if you turn off
your machine before a backup has occurred, the next time you start your computer
the backup will continue.
Quick AsaBackup How To's
Setting a Default Schedule
Download AsaBackup This is the default area,
which is located on the left side of the main screen.It consists of a calendar,
a time clock, and a few other items to set a default schedule. You would begin by
selecting a repeat cycle for your default schedule, which can be accomplished by
using the 'schedule type' control to 'daily', 'weekly', 'Bi-Weekly', or 'Monthly'
Once you have determined the schedule repeat cycle, you can add files to be backed
up. Adding files consists of selecting the 'Add Files' Link, or 'Backup A Folder'
link located in the 'Schedule Items' view, which allows you to backup an entire
folders content to the selected backup location. To Add a backup location, use the
link on the bottom portion of the folder views named 'Backup Locations' select the
path to save backups to and click 'Ok'. At any time you can remove files or backup
paths by selecting an item in either view, and clicking the 'Remove Selected' link
for the corresponding view.
Removing a Default Schedule
Download AsaBackup Removing a default backup
consists of removing all items in the backup locations, and all scheduled items.
Once this is done click the 'Apply Settings' link in the 'Quick Links' area and
follow the prompts to approve the new settings. Once you approve the settings the
default schedule will no longer attempt to backup the previous, if any, items. The
status description for the default schedule will show this once the application
is restarted.
Creating a custom schedule
Download AsaBackup The custom tasks view displays
the default schedule along with any custom scheduled items that you might create.
In the views upper region there are a few links that allow you to create, edit,
or remove custom schedules. The 'Add New Task' link displays the custom task dialog,
which allows you to set the new locations and items for a backup. The 'Edit' Link
opens the task for you in the same dialog that you used to create the task for you
edit your items or schedule. The 'Mark Complete' link deletes a custom task only
if one has been checked.
Note: that the default schedule will not be removed from
this view regardless of clicking the 'Add new', 'Mark Complete', or 'Edit' Links.
Instead, and if desired, use the left pane of the application to edit the default
schedule.

is displayed when an 'Add New Task' link is clicked. It is also the same dialog
that is populated with the custom settings when you edit a task. The custom dialog
differs from that of the default schedule views by, providing a name for the custom
task. A task will not be saved unless it is given a specific 'Task Name'. You do
this by using the text box located in the top left corner of the dialog. Type the
name of the task, set your custom files or folders for backup along with a backup
location, and click the 'Ok' button to save Once that is completed you will be able
to monitor the custom task in the main application screen, within the scheduled
tasks view. When you select your items for backup as well as set a backup location
you can use the 'Backup Now' link located in the bottom left corner of the Dialog
to backup the selections immediately.

of the default schedule use the 'Backup Now' link located in the 'Quick links' section
in the bottom left corner of the main application. To perform a manual backup of
a custom schedule use the 'Backup' Link within the Setting's Dialog located at the
bottom left corner of the dialog.
