# Creating Backups

# First Backup

The first time you open Déjà Dup, you will need to set up your first backup.

Click on the Create Your First Backup… button.

A dialog will appear asking for some important initial settings. See below for more information on them.

Click Back Up.

You will likely be prompted to set an encryption password for the backup.

Wait for your first backup to finish. It may take some time!

# Schedule

By default, you must click Back Up Now to make further backups. But it’s strongly recommended that you enable automatic backups.

To edit the automatic backup schedule, click the Schedule option from the main window.

## Rugsteun Outomaties

Skakel hierdie opsie om het Déjà Dup rugsteun outomaties vir jy. Hierdie word aanbeveel sodat jy nie vergeet om dit self te doen. Rugsteune is meer bruikbaar hoe meer onlangs hulle is, dus is dit belangrik om gereeld te rugsteun.

## Automatic Backup Frequency

Choose how frequently you want your automatic backups to be scheduled. Exact timing of the day is not customizable, but backups will be occur in the middle of the night if possible. Additionally, automatic backups are paused and/or not scheduled when in Power Saver or Game Mode.

## Hou Rugsteune

Kies die minimum bedrag van die tyd rugsteun lêers te hou. As jy vind dat die rugsteun lêers te veel spasie opneem, wil jy dalk om hierdie duration te afname. Weens implementering besonderhede, lêers kan 'n bietjie langer gehou word as die gekose tyd. Maar geen lêers sal vroeg geskrap word.

Rugsteune word vir ewig as verstek gehou is, maar nog steeds kan vroeër geskrap word as die stoor plek begin uit die ruimte te hardloop.

# Folders

By default, your entire home folder (minus the Trash and Downloads folders) are included in backups.

To edit the list of included folders, click the Folders option from the main window.

## Vouers om Rugsteun

Choose a list of folders to save in your backup. Press the Add Backed Up Folder… or Remove buttons to modify the list.

## Vouers om Ignoreer

Choose a list of folders to not save in your backup. Press the Add Ignored Folder… or Remove buttons to modify the list.

Sommige van jou data kan groot wees en nie baie belangrik vir jou wees nie. In daardie geval kan jy jouself 'n bietjie tyd en ruimte bespaar deur dit nie te rugsteun nie.

Sommige liggings word altyd by verstek geïgnoreer:

~/.cache

~/.ccache

~/.gvfs

~/.Private

~/.steam/root (which verstek ook ignoreer ~/.local/share/Steam)

~/.var/app/*/cache

~/.var/app/*/config/Cache

~/.var/app/*/config/Code Cache

~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/root

~/.xsession-errors

~/snap/*/*/.cache

/dev

/proc

/run

/sys

/tmp

Any folder with a CACHEDIR.TAG or .deja-dup-ignore file in it.

# Storage Location

Die stooring ligging is where Déjà Dup sal die kopieë van jou lêers plaas sodat dit kan later teruggelaai word.

To change where backups are kept, click the Storage Location option from the main window.

Let daarop dat rugsteune kan redelik groot wees, so maak seker dat jy genoeg vrye skyfspasie.

As jy 'n eksterne aandrywer as 'n stooring plek wil gebruik, prop dit in en dit sal in die lys vertoon.

Terwyl jy kan 'n plaaslike vouer vir jou rugsteune kies, hierdie word nie aanbeveel. As jou hardeware faal, sal jy beide jou oorspronklike data en jou rugsteune op een slag verloor.
