FAQ- Backup
Home About Download Query/Update Help	What is the difference between backup and archive? How can I exclude specific files from being backed up? How can I tell when the last time I backed up was? If my backup failed, how can I tell what went wrong? What is the difference between backup and archive? Backup is only a temporary safeguard against the loss of files currently on a computer. Archive is long-term storage of files for retrieval in the future. CIC-7 does not currently offer the archive feature. If you are interested in this service, contact adsm_admin@lanl.gov. How can I exclude specific files from being backed up? To manually exclude files, make sure the checkbox next to the file is not checked (does not have this icon: ). To automatically exclude files, edit your ADSM Preferences (Mac) or DSM.OPT (Windows and UNIX) file by putting in lines that start with Exclude: Exclude "...:DiskLock.data" Exclude "...:Desktop DB" etc. How can I tell when the last time I backed up was? You check the ADSM schedule log file on your computer, or you can lookup your backup data and other node information at the Query/Update page. If my backup failed, how can I tell what went wrong? You can check the ADSM Error log file on your computer.
