• Real-time Backup – This powerful function will continuously monitor the folder(s) you specify in the Backup Task, and incrementally backup the contents of the folder(s) whenever changes are made. For example, if you save a new file to the folder specified in this Backup Task, Elite will automatically add the new file to its ongoing backup of the folder. Similarly, any existing files in that folder that you re-save or modify in any way will also be automatically updated within the backup (date and time of update will be indicated at the end of each file name). NOTE: Real-time backup starts functioning immediately after you finish creating the backup task; “Backup Now” and “One Touch backup” are not necessary while Real-time Backup is enabled.

1. Next you will be asked to select a destination for your restored files.

The "Default path" is the original folder location from which the file(s) were backed-up. Choose "Other" if you want to specify a different location to save your backups to. If you are restoring to the default path, most of the files you are restoring might have the same filenames as existing files within the folder(s). Elite gives you several options to handle duplicate files when they are detected. Choose one of the options below and click "Start" to begin restoring files.

Duplicate Filename Detection Options:

• Keep newest version – If duplicate file names are detected during the restore process, Elite will keep whichever version is newer (recommended).
• Overwrite destination file – Elite will overwrite all similarly named files in the destination with the ones from the backup, even if the files in the destination folder(s) have been recently modified.
• Skip – When duplicate files are detected, they will be skipped. All files in the destination folder(s) will remain untouched, and Elite will only restore files that don't already exist in the destination path.

Back Back Management Backup Management

Each time you run one of your Backup Tasks, a new backup file containing the latest versions of your files will be created and stored in your desired backup location. Over time, these backups can accumulate and use up a considerable amount of storage space. If your backup storage device gets low on space, the Backup Manager allows you to browse through all previous backups and delete old, redundant, or unnecessary backup points.

1. Double-click the Elite icon ( E ) in the Windows System Tray
2. Select "Manage" from the Main Menu.

Helpful TipsHelpful Tips

Use Elite instead of "copy & paste"

Whether you are backing up data for long-term storage or simply moving files to a different location, use Elite instead of the “copying and pasting.” This will not only save time by making sure all files and subfolders are copied reliably, but will also give you the opportunity to execute the same procedure again in the future with easy scheduling options. Or, you can even use the One Touch auto-backup button to instantly backup specified files and folders (not available on all StoreJet models).

Travel back in time with different restore points

By default, Elite creates a new backup folder with a date stamp each time a backup is performed (whether manually or scheduled). This means that when you need to restore files, you can choose from different backup points to retrieve earlier or newer versions of your files. For novice users, this is the safest and way to ensure you can always go back to an earlier point in time, even if you deleted some files along the way. However, advanced users looking to save hard drive space should check out the Real-time Backup option.

Real-time Backup saves time – and hard drive space!

Backup your data version-by-version. Novice users should start by performing a full backup without enabling any advanced options. For more advanced users, we suggest trying the Real-time Backup option. Real-time Backup will automatically update the backup version of a folder or folders whenever you add new files or make changes to existing files within the folder. Real-time Backup works incrementally – which means it saves hard drive space by only updating newly-added or changed files. The only drawback to using Real-time backup

Be careful with passwords

When encrypting your files, always choose a password that is easy to remember. You can use the same password for all of your Backup Tasks. Passwords are case-sensitive, so make sure the Caps Lock function on your keyboard is not enabled.

FAQFAQ

Q: Elite Eöes notdest when Isdableleholdte icon. What's wrong?

A: Make sure your StoreJet or JetFlash drive is properly connected to the computer. The Elite software only works in Windows 7, Vista, and XP.

Q: Why didn't my scheduled backup take place?

A: For scheduled backups to run properly, all hard drives, and all computers that contain hard drives associated with the scheduled Backup Task, must be connected and powered on during the time of the scheduled backup. Additionally, if the backup destination drive runs out of storage space, scheduled backups will not take place.

Q: Why doesn't One Touch auto-backup work?

A: Did you mark the One Touch Backup field next to the Backup Task? If not, see here to learn how. This function only works with Transcend StoreJet brand drives that have a One Touch auto-backup button

Q: A new message appears when restoring files

A: This message usually means that you have moved, renamed or deleted some of the source or destination drives/folder/files associated with the Backup Task.

Q: Some of the files specified in the Backup Task did not get backed-up

A: Check to make sure the source file or folder is correct, and that no errors occurred during the backup procedure.
