Backup folder – it's flexible approach to backup files whose number is not constant and can change over time. Folders – these are elements of file systems to logically organize the data on various criteria: by their belonging to an application, etc. If the backup data you create a backup folder, then you know exactly how much space it will take after the operation: it will depend on how changed contents of the folder. Over time, people have invented several effective ways to optimize the backup process. We consider them as an example, when you need to make a backup of digital photos. You create the task of copying, select the folder containing the photos, and specify where you want the copy. Firstly, it is desirable to activate the filter for images: png, jpg, gif, and others. Then you can make copies only photos excluding the other files that may exist in this folder.
Next, you can choose the type of incremental backup that will allow problems to process only new and changed files, missing old ones. Finally, there means to copy from a time-stamped so you always know the copies with a date you can come back. Thus, instead of rewriting the entire folder every time you start the operation, you will copy only changes since the last backup. This is the best way to optimize the backup folder! When choosing software for backup, remember that many of the utilities retain a copy in his own format, which makes recovery impossible without the use of the program. For operations such as backing up folders, this is hardly justified: in case of accidental deletion of a much more convenient to restore data manually you run the program and create a new task of recovery.
