Chapter 35 McAfee Internet Security 173 Running full and quick archives You can run two types of archive: full or quick. When you run a full archive, you archive a complete set of data based on the watch file types and locations that you have set up. When you run a quick archive, you archive only those watched files that have changed since the last full or quick archive. By default, Data Backup is scheduled to run a full archive of the watch file types in your watch locations every Monday at 9:00 a.m and a quick archive every 48 hours after the last full or quick archive. This schedule ensures that a current archive of your files is maintained at all times. However, if you do not want to archive every 48 hours, you can adjust the schedule to suit your needs. If you want to archive the contents of your watch locations on demand, you can do so at any time. For example, if you modify a file and want to archive it, but Data Backup is not scheduled to run a full or quick archive for another few hours, you can archive the files manually. When you archive files manually, the interval that you set for automatic archives is reset. You can also interrupt an automatic or manual archive if it occurs at an inappropriate time. For example, if you are performing a resource-intensive task and an automatic archive starts, you can stop it. When you stop an automatic archive, the interval that you set for automatic archives is reset. Schedule automatic archives You can set the frequency of full and quick archives to ensure that your data is always protected. To schedule automatic archives: 1 Click the Local Archive tab. 2 In the left pane, click Settings. 3 In the Local Archive Settings dialog box, click General. 4 To run a full archive each day, week, or month, click one of the following under Full archive every: ƒ Day ƒ Week ƒ Month
