When you start KPsion the first time, a wizard dialog is shown which lets
you easily configure the application for your personal use. The initial setup
is divided into three steps:
The backup directory will be used by
KPsion for storing backup archives.
You simply can accept the default proposed by this dialog if you don't have
to care about disk space used in your home directory. Otherwise, select a
directory of your choice by clicking on the Browse button.
KPsion creates
a that directory if it does not yet exist. Of course, you need the permission
to do so.
In the second step, you can adjust the backup strategy. For both, incremental
and full backups, you can select an interval. If any of these intervals is
enabled,
KPsion will create a
.desktop Entry in your
KDE Autostart folder. Every time KDE is started, this will start
KPsion
in autobackup mode. If the interval is expired and your Psion is currently
connected, an unattended backup will be performed.
The third adjustment to be made is the number of backup generations to keep.
A backup generation consists of a full backup plus eventually made incremental
backups. If a backup is completed sucessfully, KPsion will check, if there
are more backup generations available and delete older backup generations.
In the third step, you can adjust the behavior of
KPsion during initial
connect. If you set the connection retry interval to a non-zero value,
KPsion
will retry a connection attempt if it had failed. Since
KPsion needs the
ncpd daemon running, it is also possible to start this daemon on the fly if it
is not running. For this, you need to have permissions to use the specified
port.
