Changing Your Backup Settings ■ Compress files in the backup storage-When this setting is selected, Adaptec File Saver compresses files that are backed up, if possible. By default, this setting is selected. Clear this setting to turn compression off. Note: For better computer performance, lower the compression level. When you restore a compressed file, Adaptec File Saver automatically decompresses the file to its original state. Changing the Versions Settings By default, Adaptec File Saver creates one version of a backup file every 24 hours, or 1440 minutes. (Therefore, on any given day, the only version of a file that is backed up is the last version you save for that day.) Also by default, Adaptec File Saver retains five versions of each backup file. On the Versions tab of the Advanced Settings window, you can change both these settings to suit your needs. For instance, you can set Adaptec File Saver to retain 10 versions of each backup file, or to create new versions each time you save a file instead of just once a day. ■ To edit the number of versions saved, see page 3-19. ■ To edit the minimum time between versions, see page 3-20. Note: Versions are numbered from 0 to N - 1, where 0 is the individual version and N is the total number of versions backed up. Adaptec File Saver holds each version in its own subfolder, and reuses these subfolders in a loop. Backup files remain in a subfolder until overwritten by a newer version. The oldest version is overwritten first. 3-18
