Heres a quick guide to creating
your first Project.
- Open LojiklSweep and you are presented with the Welcome Screen.
- Create a project by clicking the 'Add' Button.

- You will be asked for the name of your project, enter My First Backup.
-
A new project button will appear . Please note
that a bug prevented this from happening in versions of LojiklSweep prior to 2.0.9.0.
If your project button does not appear, please close and re-open LojiklSweep
- You will see a list of items including :

- Working from top to bottom here is a brief description of how each item affects
the backup process.
-
Basic...
This item lists those items that are most commonly included in a backup. For this
example I have selected 'Desktop' , 'Internet Explorer Favorites', 'Firefox' and
"My Documents'
-
Advanced...
Sometimes the files you want to include are more well hidden. On this screen you
can choose file from anywhere on your system. Note here that the items from the
previous step are already listed. Add those items that are most important to you.
In
this example, I have added the 'Benchmarking' Folder. Study this section closly
and see how items can be Included and Excluded.
- Now that the basics have been configured, we need to tell the Backup how to proceed
and when to proceed. Each new project has default Schedule called 'Default' Click
the default Schedule
to continue.
- This section allows you to define where the Backup will place its items. It consists
of three subsections including Options, Destinations and Compression
-
Choose the type of location you
wish to backup to. For our example choose Local or Network
-
Destinations allows you to choose
where you want the Backup to be stored. In this example our base path has been set
to be a folder on the D:\ Drive. Location append is telling the system that
we wnat to append the Project Name (#P#) and the Day (%ddd%) to the backup location.
This is a very powerful and more options are available by right clicking in the
"Location Append" text box.
Our final setup option here is
This tells us that the
system should remove any files in the Backup location that are not currently included
in the Backup. Turning this option one, essentially creates a one-way synchronization
from Source to Destination. Turning it off, will allows file that are no longer
in the Source to be kept in the Destination. A form of Incremental Backup.
- Finally, we ust schedule our Backup to run. With the default Schedule
selected, click the
button to show the standard windows Schedule Dialog.
- If you wish to run a Schedule now, simply click this button

Well, hopefully this helps to create your first Project. The help in the forums
will continue to grow and these How To pages will slowly improve as Time and Resources
Permit.
