Creating a Customized Backup Plan
You can create your own backup plan to specify which files or directories get backed up,
when the backup occurs, and where the files are saved.
1. On the Seagate Dashboard Home screen, click Protect.
2. On the Protect screen, click the New Backup Plan button.
3. Specify the files, destination, and frequency for the backup plan. You can configure each
backup setting individually, or you can step through the backup configuration process by
clicking the < and > buttons
The default is to back up all files on your system, so All Files is selected. To back up a
specific directory or group of files, deselect All Files and click the Select Files button.
4. To back up specific files, navigate to the directory or files and click the box next to each file or
folder you want to back up. When you are done, click the > button to move to the next
configuration screen.
5. Select the devices where you want to back up the files.
6. The default backup destination on the Seagate Central device is the Public folder, which
anyone on your network can access. To back up files to a private folder, click Sign in. Select
a user name from the list, and enter the password.
7. Click the > button to move to the next screen.
8. Indicate how often to back up the files.
9. Click the green checkmark to activate the backup plan.
After you create a backup plan, Seagate Dashboard shows its status on the Protect screen.
You can click the Pause button to temporarily stop the backup plan, the Pencil button to edit
the backup plan settings, or the X button to delete the backup plan. If you delete a backup
plan, Seagate Dashboard gives you the option to delete the files from the backup device or
leave them in place.
Restoring Files from Backup
You can easily restore data backed up by Seagate Dashboard to your system. Seagate
Dashboard maintains multiple versions of each file it backs up, so you can restore the most
recent version or a previous version.
To restore a file from a backup:
1. On the Seagate Dashboard Home screen, click Protect.
2. On the Protect screen, click Restore Files.
A list of active backup plans displays.
