Important notes
Please read this topic carefully before
starting to use BackUp Maker. It contains important
information on the use of the application.
Note: Backup verification
After a completed backup, BackUp Maker
verifies the backup copy - unless you have disabled
this feature. The verification involves a number of
checksum tests (CRC32).
Since an automated, computer
controlled verification can never be quite as
reliable as a human, manual verification, you are
obliged under licencing laws to check your backups
yourself in order to ensure that they are correct and
complete.
Note: Multiple DVD sessions
Given that DVDs and DVD burners are
not quite as mature as CDs and CD burners in their
technological development, you are advised to check
multiple DVD sessions after a backup operation for
their integrity. Many of the commercially available
DVD burners and DVDs do not yet provide multiple
session functionality (or at least not of the type
offered by CDs).
Note: System files and files that are open exclusively
In principle, BackUp Maker allows
backing up of system files. However, a number of
files are access protected by the operating system
(files that have been "opened exlusively").
It is not possible to backup such files without the
risk of losing data. This is why BackUp Maker
automatically excludes them from its backup
operations, and lists these explicitly as having been
excluded in the backup report.
