Application: Pluto Backup & Media Share
Components:
- PlutoBaSInstaller - used to install the applications
- PlutoBaS - main application used to configure backup tasks and media shares
- PlutoBackupSrv - backup service - programmatically executing the backup tasks
- PlutoBaSMan - taskbar application for controlling the backup service
Install the application using PlutoBaSInstaller. Use Pluto Backup&Media Config ( PlutoBaS.exe ) to configure backup tasks and media shares.
- First use "Find pluto" button to locate the DCERouter. It'll try to automatically find the router and load the available backup devices list.
- After it finds the router you'llbe able to use the other tabs:
- Media tab:
- Add directories you want to share and press save "Save configuration and update shares" to create the shares.
- If you want to clear all shares you created, use "Clear all shares"
- Backup tab:
- Configure your backup tasks. For every task you can setup:
- which directories to backup ( including subdirectories and filtering files )
- how often to backup ( you can also create a full backup using the "Backup now" button from the "On demand" option
- choose backup devices to use, from those available. It'll try to create the backup on those devices you selected - if one of the devices it's not available or it doesn't have enough space it'd try the next one.
- Use "Save configuration" to save the backup tasks list.
- Restore tab:
- First choose backup device you want to restore from. when you select a device from the list it'll try to connect to the device and retrieve the backed up computers and tasks - sometimes, this could take take a while.
- Then choose the backed up computers and check the tasks you want to restore.
- Finally choose the destination ( the local directory you want to restore to ) and press "Restore"
- Configure your backup tasks. For every task you can setup:
- Media tab:
Next you can use Pluto Backup&Media Manager to control the backup service. It will start minimized in the tray bar.
You can use it to:
- Start/Stop the service
- Force reloading the task list - which will command the service to reload the backup configuration from the disk
- See the current tasks status by pressing "Refreshing task list"
- Enable/disable a task
- Command the service to execute a "backup on demand" for that task.
