The main window consists of two main areas. From top to bottom they are the site list grid and the notification area.
The site list grid contains a list of the configured sites and their status. The status can be one of:
Idle. The site has completed being backed up, or is simply waiting to be backed up at your command. Denoted by a gray circular icon.
Running. The backup process for this site is still running, or the backup file is being downloaded. Denoted by a green triangle icon.
Error. An error occured while backing up or downloading the backup file. Denoted by a flames icon.
Download. The site's backup archive (or debug log, if an error occured) is being downloaded - by means of FTP - to your PC. Denoted by a blue, downward pointing arrow icon.
Queued Backup. The backup queue is currently full; as soon as another site finishes being backed up the queue will be re-evaluated and the first site marked as queued for backup will enter the “Running” state. Denoted by a gold (yellow) triangle icon.
Queued Download. The download queue is currently full; as soon as another site's backup archive finishes being downloaded the queue will be re-evaluated and the first site marked as queued for download will enter the “Download” state. Denoted by a gray, downward pointing arrow icon.
The last column contains the download progress information. While a site's backup is being downloaded, this progress bar keeps filling up. This allows you to easily track the download progress, especially when you have multiple sites downloading at the same time.
In order to select a site and make it current, just click on it. Double-clicking on a site name will display the editor window where you can modify its parameters. If you wish to delete a site definition, just click on it to make it current and then click on the , menu.
You can select multiple sites. Just click and drag your cursor to select multiple rows. Do note, however, that you only make contiguous selections, i.e. select only adjacent rows. The and operations will apply to all selected rows at once.
The notification area, below the site grid, displays information regarding the currently selected site and is documented in depth in the Backing Up section of the first chapter.
