File Backup To Multiple Locations
File replication may require transfer of the same file to various different locations. For example, report file ('report1.xls') should be (i) copied to office manager's folder and archive folder and also (ii) send to headquarters by email. When there are only two or three report files in place then it is relatively easy to do all these operations manually. However, when there is a dozen of file reports it becomes really difficult and annoying to manage and control all the operations. You can simply forget to save one file to archive folder.
Manual copying of hundreds and thousands files is simply impossible unless you have a special 'copying department'. The more conventional way to solve this problem is to use professional replication and backup software.
How does real time replication and backup software work? First, it is necessary to create a 'task' or 'project' which specifies that 'report1.xls' will be copied from 'X:\Reports' to 'D:\Office' and 'Z:\Archive'. Secondly, if you need to send the same file by email it is necessary to create another task. Thirdly, if original 'report1.xls' should be deleted then one more task should be created and so on and on. Still it is time consuming to set up each task separately and define the order of execution: copying to 'Z:\Archive' and sending by email should precede deletion of original file. All these operations require high level of concentration and accuracy. If you need to disable or delete all tasks related to 'report1.xls' then it is necessary to remember that you have four distinct tasks and manage each separately.
In AnyFileBackup we have solved these problems. With AnyFileBackup you can specify many operations (copying, sending by email, deletion of original file and much more) performed with 'report1.xls' within just one task. The advantages of this innovation approach are great:
- replication task set up is really easy
- all operations performed with 'report1.xls' are grouped within one replication task
- operations consequence and priority are visible on one screen
- you can disable or delete either the entire task or particular operation with a couple of mouse clicks
- changing 'report1.xls' to 'report5.xls' will affect all the operations which means that all operations previously performed with 'report1.xls' will be performed with 'report5.xls'
- and many others
Any task in AnyFileBackup has many other parameters which significantly improve files replication and backup or even move them to a new level.
For example, the task can notify you about successful file copying or errors occurred by email, SMS or network.
Thus, with AnyFileBackup you can group as many file operations within one task as you want. The task will perform all file replications according to specified schedule and notify you about the progress.
