This video is from 2021. The program's design has changed significantly, and more features have been added. However, the way many modes work remains the same or very similar. We are updating our knowledge base and video lessons. Since 2022, videos have been in Ukrainian only.
Connect cloud storage
The additional feature “Data Security: Cloud Archive” creates backups and uploads them to Google Drive. In the archiving task, sign in to the required Google account and choose what to save: the database, the program directory, or photos. Archives are stored in a separate TORGSOFT_CLOUD folder. To ensure reliable recovery, identify the data your store needs and check that it is actually being uploaded to storage.
Set a schedule and retention period
In the task settings, specify the start time, how often copies are created, and how long previous archives are kept. Compression helps reduce file size and Google Drive quota usage. Do not rely on specific limits shown in the 2021 video; they may have changed. Check the available account space and upload status against the service's current state.
Check the result and recovery
After the task runs, review the execution log and make sure a new file has appeared in the TORGSOFT_CLOUD folder. Do not use this service folder for personal documents: the program may delete old files according to the specified retention period. Periodically check account access and whether data can be restored from a backup. For setup using the current screens, open a newer video lesson and written instructions.
