Frequently Asked Questions - Autobackup Pro

1. How do I turn off silent mode?
   If you are running Autobackup-Pro in Silent Mode you do not see the screen to change any options.
   There are 2 ways to turn it off
   1) Run the program 'A-CONFIG.EXE' which is installed in the Autobackup-Pro directory. This allows you to change the options when the main program isnt running. You can also test run the program from here.
   2) Edit the AUTOBACKUP-PRO.INI file. In the [general] section, change the entry 'runSilently' from '1' to '0'
   
   
2. What are the 'Diary Records'?
   Each time you run Autobackup-Pro , it can create a list of diary entries for each file that you modified on the day. This shows up in the diary with the full path name, the short name and the file size when it was backed up.
   If you have Acute Software's Electronic Diary installed, you can easily view the complete editing history of any file - including when it was saved, its file size and how long you were using it for.
