of Backup
Terms of Concepts of Backup
Samsung Auto Backup User Manual Ver 2.0

This chapter explains the concepts and terms you
need to know before using Samsung Auto Backup.
• What is Backing Up ?
Backup means storing data safely on storage devices such as
hard disks.
• Backup Source
Backup source is the files or folders that you want to backup.
• Backup Device
Backup device is the device (local hard disks, NAS, DVDRAM,
etc.) onto which you want to store the backup data. In the case of
the Samsung Auto Backup program, the backup device is the
Samsung External Hard Disk Drive.
• Scheduled Backup
In the scheduled backup, the software program runs the backup
procedure according to a schedule you set in advance.
• Manual Backup
In the manual backup, you perform the backup procedure
yourself using the software.
• Full Backup
All the files and folders in a backup source you specify are
backed up.
• Incremental Backup
When you back up data from the same source repeatedly, only
data that has changed or been added since the last backup is
backed up.
Terms of Concepts of Backup
Samsung Auto Backup User Manual Ver 2.0
10
• Real-Time Backup
This backup procedure is performed in real time. That is, the
backup source is monitored continuously, and when a folder or
file is changed or added to it, the corresponding folder or file is
backed up in real time.
• Backup Log
This log contains detailed information on the backup process,
including the start time, completion time, number of files backed
up, etc.
• What is Backup Information?
Backup Information’ is actually a database of important
information on your backups, such as which data Samsung Auto
Backup backed up and the result of the process. Based on this
database, the program performs its tasks such as backing up,
restoring, and deleting.
• What is ‘compression of Backup Information?
When a user deletes data such as a backup file and task log in
Samsung Auto Backup, the actual files are deleted. However,
the information related to the deleted files is only flagged as
‘deleted’ but actually still remains hidden within the backup
information. Therefore, if there are too many deleted files, the
program has to check through lots of information when
performing the next backup, and the backup process is slowed
down. Also, the size of the backup information file is itself
limited. When the backup information file reaches a certain size,
backups cannot be performed. To resolve these problems, the
compression function removes useless data from the backup
information and optimizes the remaining data.
• Defrag
In a disk drive, there is a ‘platter’ or disk that spins to read data
and write data. The data that is read, is usually the program files.
The data that is written is usually the information that you create
Terms of Concepts of Backup
Samsung Auto Backup User Manual Ver 2.0
11
with the program. For instance, if you are using Microsoft Word
to create a letter, the letter is the data that is written to the disk.
Remember that the disk is spinning when you are on your
computer. When you save your data (letter), it is saved on
various places on the disk. When you defrag your disk, you are
putting all the pieces of your data (letter) in one place. When all
the pieces of the files are put together, your drive is ‘optimized’.

Before Installation
Samsung Auto Backup is a backup solution that allows
you to back up important data locally, or through a
network. This solution provides various options that
allow you to perform manual backups, as well as
scheduled backups, and encryption the data during
the process.
When you back up data using Samsung Auto Backup,
you first should perform a full backup on all your data.
After that however, you can perform real-time
backups that monitor the source and back up only the
data that has changed. In addition, this solution uses
a disk-based backup method, minimizing the time
required to restore the backup data significantly.
Using incremental backups, you only backup the data
that has changed or added since the last backup. This
option is much faster than a full backup, as it is only
updating some files and not backing up all the files.
Installing the Software

Preparing your Computer
We recommend that you check the current condition
of your system and take any necessary measures to
optimize or defragment it before using this software.
For help with optimizing and defragmenting your
computer, please see the manufacturer's
recommendations.
If your system is unstable, for example if it displays
blue screens, you encounter an error message while
booting the system, or crashes frequently in everyday
use, you must resolve these problems before using
this software. If you think your system is stable,
optimize it anyway by running the recommended
optimizing software before using this software.
