1-1: BounceBack Software Overview
BounceBack software has many features that can be tailored to individual user needs. Here is
a brief overview of these features.
BounceBack Features
Initial Backup - Your entire system drive (data only) can be automatically backed up or
just the data you select, (My Documents).
Backup Sets - The Settings feature allows you to create and modify Backup Sets. Each
Backup Set allows you to specify a unique set of backup characteristics such as data
selection, scheduling, and power down.
Scheduling - Backups may be automated by scheduling them. Schedules can be specified
by time and date on a weekly or monthly basis.
Power Down - Your computer can be set to Power Down on completion of a backup.
Backup - Once you have created one or more Backup Sets, the Backup Feature allows
you to select and run a Backup Set at any time.
QuickRestore - This feature restores files, reports file status between the backup device
and computer. Files can be restored to their original location or redirected to another
location.
Native File Format - Backups are in ‘native file format.’ This means that backed up data
is always available, there is no special software needed to view files or data, and files can
be restored in seconds by drag and drop or by using QuickRestore.
Internal Backup - Supports the use of internal hard drives as backup devices.
Data Management - When files are no longer needed on the backup hard drive they can
be reviewed and purged from the backup device.
Continuous Data Protection – This mode of operation continuously monitors the
computers system drive. At fixed intervals the changed files are copied to the backup.
AutoLaunch - Any time you connect an external designated backup device to your
computer, this feature scans your system disk for new or modified files and automatically
backs them up to the backup device.
Throttling – Used with Continuous Data Protection, throttling monitors computer activity
to only initiate backups when computer resources are available so that you can work
without interruption.
