Tuning up a Task
Now you finish almost all the job, and you can just click "Next" until the final step of a new task wizard. However, by such way you can skip many advanced options to fine-tune your medical information backup task!
- On the Step 4, you can choose a partial backup method.
- In addition, you can set up a task to keep some versions of the same dataset on this step.
- The Step 5 allows you compressing and/or encrypting your medical database backup.
Note: Handy Backup saves uncompressed MySQL data as "dump" files, i.e., as instructions that will copy original table content to a newly created table during recovery. These "dumps" are available in clearly readable text mode; therefore, you can modify or browse unencrypted MySQL backups!
- On the Step 6, you can schedule your task to an exact time and repeating period.
- You may also trigger your task to some system event and force to repeat missed tasks!
- The Step 7 allows you running any other software before or after your backup task.
- On the final Step 8, you will give a name for your task and check all its options.
