Managing and Backing up files

Upon opening the Code42 app, Code42 will begin backing up the files on your computer. Hitting the pause button will pause this for an hour. When backups are not paused, Code42 will automatically start a backup every 15 minutes after a successful backup has been completed. To avoid backing up your entire computer to backup.rit.edu, you can manage and select specifically which files you want to be backed up.

Restoring files from backups

If something does happen to a file, and you wish to recover it from the backup, Code42 contains several options to recover it how you want it to.

...

1. Save Selected Files To >> Desktop(The computer you are using's desktop), Downloads(Your user/Downloads folder), Original Location(Saves to the same path the backed up files were in), Other(Specify a new location)

2. If File Already Exists >> Rename(Create a new File with a different name), Overwrite(Replace Old file)

3. Permissions >> Current(Permissions for the file of the user/computer you are downloading from), Original(Permissions of the file for the user/computer that the file was originally backed up on). 
   1. This option only really has an effect if a different computer is being used than it was originally backed up from(ie. going from a work to a personal computer or vice versa)
