Viewing and Managing Your Backup Files Changing to Active Mode If your computer is connected to the network, you can change Adaptec File Saver status from Logging mode to Active mode. (See About Adaptec File Saver on page 1-2 for explanations of the two modes.) To immediately activate Active mode: 1 Open the Tree view, following the instructions in Viewing Your Backup Files on page 5-2. 2 In the Tools menu, select Advanced, then select Activate. If your computer is connected to the network, Adaptec File Saver immediately changes to Active mode. Moving and Renaming Backup Files You can move and rename backup files using Adaptec File Saver. Only the backup file is moved or renamed; the original file on your computer is not affected. Note: You should be an advanced user before attempting to move or rename backup files. You might want to move or rename older versions of your backup files to keep them consistent with the originals. For instance, if you relocate or rename a file on your local drive, you can use Adaptec File Saver to change all backup versions of that file to the same name and location. ! Caution: If you rename a file using the name of an existing backup file, the versioning for both files is combined to retain only the most recent versions. For instance, if you rename a file xyz.doc, but xyz.doc already exists as a backup file, backup versions of the new xyz.doc will override backup versions of the old xyz.doc. Be careful not to unintentionally discard backup files while using the renaming feature. 5-16

Changing to Active Mode
If your computer is connected to the network, you can change
Adaptec File Saver status from Logging mode to Active mode. (See
About Adaptec File Saver
on page 1-2
for explanations of the two
modes.)

Viewing Your

Moving and Renaming Backup Files
You can move and rename backup files using Adaptec File Saver.
Only the backup file is moved or renamed; the original file on your
computer is not affected.
Note:
You should be an advanced user before attempting to
move or rename backup files.
You might want to move or rename older versions of your backup
files to keep them consistent with the originals. For instance, if you
relocate or rename a file on your local drive, you can use Adaptec
File Saver to change all backup versions of that file to the same
name and location.
Caution:
If you rename a file using the name of an existing

xyz.doc
will
override backup versions of the old
xyz.doc
.
Be careful not to unintentionally discard backup files while
using the renaming feature.
