DSG Backup 2006 maintains a library which contains a history of backup jobs and the files of each backup run. The items of the library are called archives. An archive is created after every backup run. This feature offers a clear view over the backup set history, and allows you to keep track of file versions.

Each backup set has its own archive library. The archive library of the selected backup set is displayed in the Archive List panel.

The content of the selected archive is shown in the Archive Content panel.

This panel allows you to view, delete or export your archives. You can delete an archive using the Delete menu. Warning: if the deleted archive is part of an incremental or differential backup, all archives based on it will also be deleted.

DSG Backup 2006 is designed for professional users, who need frequent backups. The best location for frequent backups is a local disc or LAN location. To get additional data security, it is recommended that the backup should be stored on a different media from time to time. DSG Backup 2006 can directly backup to CD-RW (using a packet-writing software) or FTP server, but these methods are not very efficient in frequent or large volume backups.

DSG Backup 2006 offers a solution for secure frequent backups:

• Backup your files to a local drive (For example: schedule an incremental backup to run daily).
• Copy your archives to CD from time to time, using the CD Burning Wizard.

The CD Burning Wizard allows you to copy your existing archives to CD, using the Windows XP's integrated CD Writing Wizard. To open this dialog right click on the Archive List, and select Copy to CD from the menu.

Enter your CD disk capacity in the CD Size edit box, select the archives you want to copy and click Burn. The CD Writing Wizard will guide you through the process. For more information about the CD Writing Wizard, see your Windows help file.
