Adjust your backup settings

# Settings

# Automatic backups

Turn this option on to have Déjà Dup automatically back up for you. This is recommended so that you don’t forget to do it yourself. Backups are more useful the more recent they are, so it is important to regularly back up.

# Backup location

Use these options to specify the backup location that Déjà Dup will use when backing up or restoring:

# Cloud Services

The first few backup locations are cloud storage services provided by various companies. For a small fee, they hold your data for you. A cloud service like this is recommended because it is an easy way to keep your data offsite (meaning out of your home: in case of disaster or theft, your data will still be safe).

These services costs money. Read their rates carefully before using them.

# Remote Servers

Choose the type of remote server to which you want to connect. Then you can enter the server information. Alternatively, if you know your server’s URL, choose Custom Location and enter it.

# Soportes extraíbeis

Pode ver listados soportes extraíbeis como discos duros externos ou memorias flash.

# Local Folder

Tamén pode querer escoller un cartafol local como localización da copia de seguranza. Teña en conta que as copias de seguranza poden ser bastante grandes, así que asegúrese de ter suficiente espazo libre en disco.

This is not recommended, because if your hardware fails, you will lose both your original data and your backups.

# Folders to back up

Choose a list of folders to back up. Press the Add or Remove buttons to modify the list. If you are only interested in backing up your own data, the default of Home is sufficient.

# Folders to ignore

Choose a list of folders to not back up. Press the Add or Remove buttons to modify the list.

Algúns dos seus datos poden ocupar moito pero non ser importantes para vostede. Nese caso, pódese aforrar algún tempo e espazo non incluíndoos na copia de seguranza.

Some locations are always ignored by default:

~/.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache

~/.cache

~/.gvfs

~/.Private

~/.recent-applications.xbel

~/.recently-used.xbel

~/.thumbnails

~/.xsession-errors

/proc

/sys

/tmp

# Keep backups

Escolla o mínimo tempo durante o que manter os ficheiros da copia de seguranza. Se cre que a copia de seguranza está a empregar demasiado espazo, pode querer diminuír a súa duración. Debido a detalles da implementación, pode ser que os ficheiros se manteñan algún tempo mais do escollido. Pero non se borrarán ficheiros antes de tempo.

Backups are kept forever by default, but still may be deleted earlier if the backup location begins to run out of space.
