MANAGING STORAGE

Removing files from a definition:

1. Open the Depositit software
2. Left click on the definition you wish to amend (so it is highlighted)
3. On the right hand side you will see a tick in the box next to your drive
4. Click on the '+' next to the box with a tick in it so it opens
5. Keep clicking on the '+' signs (next to the ticked boxes) until you reach the main folder that you wish to remove files from
6. Untick the files/folders that are no longer required
7. Once completed, go up to the top left of the window and click SAVE

Please bear in mind that depending on the Backup Cycle you have set up (i.e 30 days), you will not notice any reduction in storage until the cycle has completed.

To get round this you can set the Backup Cycle to 1 (click save afterwards) and then after the next backup all old data will automatically drop off. Once reduced, remember to re-set your Backup Cycle again (and click save afterwards).

Information on reducing Backup Cycles can be found here.

Adding files to a definition:

If you are backing up your 'My Documents' folder and have been saving information directly into this folder - all the new information will be automatically included in your backups.

If you have added new information to a different area on your computer and need to back this up, you can either create a new definition to do this or include it within a definition you already have:

To add to a definition that is already created:

1. Open the Depositit software
2. Left click on the definition you wish to add to (so it is highlighted)
3. On the right hand side you will see your drives
4. Click on the '+' next to the drive you require and keep clicking on the '+' signs until you reach the new files/folders that you wish to backup
5. Place a tick in the box alongside these files/folders
6. Once selected, go up to the top left of the window and click SAVE

The next time your backup runs the new information will be added.
