Technical details

[edit] Friday, 22nd August from 7pm

First full backup is scheduled on this Friday, 22nd August from 7pm and very likely will be lasting over this weekend. To have all your files backed up we would suggest you do not have access to them. That doesn’t mean that they will be inaccessible. But if a file is open it won’t be backed up. Though such file will be backed up later during an incremental backup procedure but it would be better to have all files backed up during this first full backup.
