# Preferences

To review your backup preferences, press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select Preferences.

# Storage location

The storage location is where Déjà Dup will put its copies of your files so that they can be restored later.

Note that backups can be quite large, so make sure you have enough free disk space.

If you'd like to use an external drive as a storage location, plug it in and it will show up in the list.

While you can choose a local folder for your backups, this is not recommended. If your hardware fails, you will lose both your original data and your backups all at once.

# Back Up Automatically

Turn this option on to have Déjà Dup automatically back up for you. This is recommended so that you don’t forget to do it yourself. Backups are more useful the more recent they are, so it is important to back up regularly.

# Automatic Backup Frequency

Choose how frequently you want your automatic backups to be scheduled. Exact timing of the day is not customizable, but backups will be occur in the middle of the night if possible. Additionally, automatic backups are paused and/or not scheduled when in Power Saver or Game Mode.

# Keep Backups

Zvolíme ako dlho sa má záloha súborov zachovať. Ak sa nám zdá, že záloha súborov zaberá veľa mista, môžeme túto dobu skrátiť. Súbory môžu na disku zostať o trochu dlhšie ako je zvolaná doba, no žiadny súbor nebude odstránený skôr.

Backups are kept forever by default, but still may be deleted earlier if the storage location begins to run out of space.

# Folders to Back Up

Choose a list of folders to save in your backup. Press the Add or Remove buttons to modify the list. If you are only interested in backing up your own data, the default of Home is sufficient.

# Folders to Ignore

Choose a list of folders to not save in your backup. Press the Add or Remove buttons to modify the list.

Niektoré údaje môžu byť veľké a nemusia byť pre nás dôležité. V takom prípade môžeme ušetriť čas a priestor tým, že ich nebudeme zálohovať.

Niekoľko umiestnení, ktoré sa budú štandardne ignorovať:

~/.cache

~/.ccache

~/.gvfs

~/.Private

~/.steam/root (which by default also ignores ~/.local/share/Steam)

~/.var/app/*/cache

~/.xsession-errors

~/snap/*/*/.cache

/dev

/proc

/run

/sys

/tmp

Any folder with a CACHEDIR.TAG or .deja-dup-ignore file in it.
