Review Summary

This topic describes the wizard page for reviewing your backup settings.

The Summary displays a simple report of the options you have set for the backup, so that you can check the details.

You can save the settings to a template. You can then use the template when you next create a backup or when you schedule backup jobs. For example, you may want to use the Back Up wizard to perform a trial run of the backup; when you are happy with the settings, you can open the template in the Schedule Backup Jobs wizard to create a scheduled job.

To save your settings to a template, select the Save as template check box and type a name for the template. The template will be saved when you click Finish.

When you have checked the settings, click Finish.

SQL Backup Manager displays a message dialog box that shows the progress of the backup or job creation. Click Hide to minimize this dialog box and continue working. You can display the box again by clicking the arrow in the SQL Backup Manager status bar.

The progress of the backup is also displayed in the In Progress tab.

When the backup or job creation process completes, if the message box is minimized, a pop-up message is displayed to inform you that the task is complete.

Information about the backup is then displayed in the Activity History.
