| PCS WorldNet's e-Safe is a high
security service that will maintain your computer archives no matter what
happens on your local computer. Therefore, if a file grows out of date and
you delete it from your local computer that will not automatically delete
it from your archive. This is in place so that if you accidentally delete
a file from your computer it will be possible to recover it later from the
archive when you notice it is missing. |
| From time to time you may wish
to take a few minutes and manage your archive to free space for new files
that will need to be backed up. |
| How
do I clear files out of my archive that no longer exist on my local computer? |
Select the Archive
Function pulldown menu and choose Delete out-of-date files.
e-Safe will automatically scan your archive, then compare it to your
local disk drives. Depending upon how much information is in your
archive and resident on your local computer, this may take a while.
When the list is complete you will be able to pick and choose the
files you no longer wish to keep in your archive.

|
| Then click the Delete Files button
to start the deletion process. You will be asked to validate the delete
process so you don’t make a mistake. |
| If you wish to remove all the files
in your archive that no longer exist in your local computer select the check
box at the very top of the list. This will only remove the files that appear
in this list not everything in the archive. |
| How do I clear files
out of my archive that are no longer important enough to keep in the archive? |
 |
This is a two
step process since you must remove the files from the archive and
also deselect them from the backup set. If you do not remove them
from the backup set e-Safe will just back them up again in an effort
to keep your archive complete. |
| To remove files from the
backup set click on the Backup Selections button. This will open the
list of all the files in your local computer. Scroll down the list
and uncheck the box to the left of any file or directory you wish
to remove from your archives permanently. |
| The next step
is to remove those unimportant files from your archive. Select‘delete
files’ archive pulldown menu and use this tool to remove files
from the archive. |
