Backup Manager Markers
Each object displayed in the Backup Manager window has a green or gray box to its left called a marker.
- Green marker--Lets you control the extent of the backup for an object directly. Click a marker to exclude an object from a backup or to indicate that you want the backup for the object to be full or partial. As you click the marker, you fill or empty the marker of color, indicating the extent of the backup.
- Gray marker--These markers are associated with objects that are not real and that you cannot back up/restore. Typically, these items serve as placeholders under which other objects are grouped and displayed. As you click the green markers under a gray marker item, the fill proportion of the gray marker changes automatically from empty to partial to full depending on the proportion of files you have chosen to back up.
The following table describes the different marker configurations and corresponding backup levels:
Marker
|
Description
|
|
Full backup.
|
|
Partial backup.
|
|
Do not back up.
|
Note: Gray marker configurations follow the same pattern as green marker configurations, but reflect the proportion of files under them that are selected for backup.
The fill proportion of a marker at a higher level of the directory tree depends on the fill proportions of the markers of the objects at the lower levels.
- If you click a marker at a higher, parent level so that it is completely filled, all the markers at the lower, child levels are automatically filled completely.
- If you click all the markers at the lower, child levels so that they are completely filled, then the marker at the higher, parent level is automatically partially filled.
- If the markers at the lower, child levels are a mix of completely filled and partially filled, the marker at the higher, parent level is automatically partially filled.
