Grass Valley Profile InSync v.2.0 - Manual (Page 7)

13 April, 2001 InSync User Guide 7
Starting and running InSync
As InSync runs, it provides continuous, automatic mirroring of the main Profile unit on the
backup Profile unit (unless you configure it to only back up manually). When you start
InSync, you select whether it backs up the main unit, restores the main unit, enters
bi-directional mirroring mode, or does none of these and simply starts running. Then InSync
retreats to the background to continue automatically synchronizing the backup to the main.
NOTE: If you intend to use bi-directional mirroring, be sure to read “About bi-
directional mirroring mode” that follows this procedure.
1. Start InSync by double clicking the InSync shortcut icon on the desktop. The following
dialog box appears requesting the name of the backup Profile unit. The first time you start
InSync, the name that appears in the text box is the one you entered for backup during setup.
For subsequent starts, the name that appears in the text box is the name of the Profile unit
last designated as backup.
2. If the name in the text box is correct, click OK . If not, enter the correct name, then click OK .
3. Select an initial InSync operation when the InSync dialog box appears. You can select one
of the settings in the drop-down list. Normally you will want to mirror on the backup from
the main or operate in bi-directional mirroring mode. If, however, you are restoring the
main from the backup, select that option from the list. If you want only to start InSync
without an initial backup operation, select
None.
