The View Menu includes information for backup, restore, exceptions, and auto-backup. This
information is very useful because it lets you know exactly which source folders will be backed
up, with what exceptions, and the target folder where it will be backed up. The first three items
applies to the currently displayed configuration file. This information is given in the following form:
Backup: Source --> Target
Restore: Target --> Source
Exceptions: folders to be skipped
AutoBackup: Source --> Target
The View menu includes two more items:
Log File
Reqd Disk Space
The Backup and Restore operation records each file copy in a log file named "myBackup.log".
The required additional free disk space can be found by clicking on the Reqd Disk Space item.
The required space calculates the actual disk space for files rather than just the file size. The
available free disk space is also calculated so that the user can know if he has enough room on
his target device. However, Windows has no way of determining available free disk space on
network drives, so the user must consult the drive's manufacturer for that information.
