Tips and Tricks

Self-Executable Backup Set:

This option allows you to recover your data even on any machine even though GBM is not installed. It creates an exe file which the restore wizard is built-in

Tip: to restore the backup job, locate and run the .exe file, select the items to be restored, and finally click restore now.

Rollback:

GBM will keep old versions of modified files backed up in previous runs, this way you can still restore any backed up version of a certain file.

Tip: Disabling rollback in a backup job will also disable versioning.

Media Playlist :

Using this option you can backup your favorite songs and in the same way they are arranged on your computer i.e. it will backup the songs along with the playlist

Tip: You can add a playlist, by the ADD button then browsing through the files and choosing the playlists you want

Plugins:

It will backup the customized folder in a specific application such as settings, profiles…. Other plugins backup the whole application in that way when restoring you don't need to reinstall the application. Plugins backup also from the registry keys so when restoring it will be restored to its original location and it will be working.

Tip : GBM offers free unlimited plugins. http://www.genie-soft.com/Scripting/ScriptSrch.aspx

Pre&Post Commands:

This feature allows you to write your own customized commands to perform a task before and after a backup is completed.

Tip: You will find this feature from the settings page > more settings

Selecting from My Profiles, My Folders selects the same data but differs in the restore process.

My Profile: it will be restored to a path that's already on the computer, for example if you selected C:\Documents and Settings\&Username\Favorites it will be restored to a path that already exists i.e. it will be returned C:\Documents and Settings\User of this machine\Favorites. i.e. if you go to Favorites you will find your data there

My Folders: it will be restored using the same path if it is not there it will create it, for example if you selected C:\Documents and Settings\&Username\Favorites it will be restored to that path if it is not on the machine it will create it. i.e. if you go to Favorites you will not find your data.

Tip:My Folders procedure works when restoring to a new computer, if restoring to your same machine it will restore to their original locations and the path where they are saved

Job Manager:

You can manage the jobs you already created easily using this GBM feature

For example: cloning, remove, creating desktop shortcut, checking the backup log, and renaming.
