Backup on Local/Network location

•	The name of the backup file is in a combination of the term "Docsvault Backup" and current date and time.

Ex. Docsvault Backup 04-Jan-2007 17.49. You can change the name but it is recommended that you accept the

names and structures provided by Docsvault.

Note:

•	Full backup: Will take backup of all files in the repository till date. You normally perform 'Full backup' the first time you create a backup set. Docsvault will automatically display the backup location and the latest backup filename.

•

Incremental Backup: Copies only those files created or changed from the last 'Full or Incremental backup'. You have to select the file named 'DVbackconf.dvf' from the full backup folder.
