SETUP TIPS

The download wizard in your Remote Backup of Rochester Software will guide you through building your account and installing the Remote Backup of Rochester software on your PC. Completion of all information on the setup is necessary to correctly finish the setup.
At the end of the installation you will be asked to save the Encryption Key. IT IS CRITICAL that you save the Encryption Key to a secure location - either on a floppy disk stored in an offsite fireproof safe or by printing the key and storing it in a safe place. Without the USERNAME, PASSWORD AND ENCRYPTION KEY, Remote Backup of Rochester will not be able to retrieve your stored information - we don't not keep a copy of it.
To locate the data that you want to back up, open the Remote Backup of Rochester software and and look at the left window. Locate the files or folders that you want to backup. Right-click on the file or folder and select 'include' Selecting a folder will automatically include any subfolders and files located in that folder. The files selected es will be transferred in the backup.
From Schedule -> Backup Schedule you can select the frequency of the Backup Set that you have created. From the Backup Set dropdown box select the backup set you want to schedule. On the left of the window you select either Daily, weekly or Monthly backups. Next to that is the day of the week you would like to run the backup (Daily backups run every day and do not use this function). After the days have been selected, ou select the time of day that you wish the backup to run. This is in military time ( 1:00 pm = 13:00, 4:00 pm = 16:00, etc.) below that is the Attempt window, set this function for that maximum amount of time you want the backup set to try and begin - useful if you acidently shut the computer off or your internet connection is down. Usually 1 hour is plenty for this setting. After the backup schedule is complete, click on 'Apply', once the Backup set is saved - Apply will turn into a 'Close' Button. Click Close to close the window or select another Backup Set from the drop down list to modify another backup. A Backup Set is a list of files and folders to be backed up at a scheduled time. Multiple Backup Sets are possible and recommended for large amounts of data ( Over 3 Gigabytes at one time).
