How to use Time Traveler; day to day use
- The
lower-left corner of Time Traveler add-in displays
information about the state of your rollbacks
- Status: this will display "Online" if everything is
configured correctly. If you're running a trial version of Time
Traveler and it expires then it will display "Expired Trial" and
no future rollback operations will be available to you. During
normal operation this can also display "Updating database" and
"Updating folder list"; these are displayed while Time Traveler
is performing rollback operations
- Last Scan: This is the date and time of the last scan
- Last Rollback: this is the date and time of the last rollback
created on your WHS. It may not be the same as the "Last Scan."
For example, if a scan is run but no new or changed files are
found then a rollback is not created at that time and no disk
space is used for a new rollback
- Total Rollbacks: this is the total number of rollbacks
available. If you press the "Manually" link and there is a new or
changed file in one of your selected Shares then you will see
this number increase
- Available Space: this is the total space available for the
Time Traveler rollback database
- Four schedule options are available: periodic, daily,
on-file-change, and
manually. See the
lower-middle section of the main screen
- Periodically: this option will scan your selected Shares for new
and changed files at the specified interval you choose
- Daily: this option will scan your selected Shares for new and
changed files once per day at the specified hour you choose
- On file change: this option will configure Time Traveler to
automatically run a new rollback whenever a file is added or
changed on your Windows Home Server. You can select the
number of seconds after each file change that Time Traveler
should wait before it runs a rollback
- Manually: this option will scan your selected share whenever
you run the Console and press the Manually link. Further,
you can always run a manual rollback-point by selecting the
Create rollback now link located on the lower-right corner of
Time Traveler
