When backing up your sources using the uncompressed option, your backup sources are copied exactly to the backup destination. The backup destination will contain a mirror image of your current backup sources. All file attributes, including created/modified time, read-only, and hidden status are maintained. The backup destination contains only the files you have selected for backup, and nothing more. This makes it easy to restore files from the uncompressed backup using any file copy program, such as Windows Explorer. Safe Data Backup is not needed to do any restore operation, simply use your favorite file copying program.
In addition to the mirror image backup you can also optionally choose to have modified and deleted files saved in a separate but parallel backup location. You can choose how many revisions you would like to keep. Revisions and deleted files are stored in a folder hierarchy that matches the original source folder hierarchy. Revised files have their filenames modified in order to support saving multiple revisions. Revised files will have their name changed from <filename>.<extension> to <filename>.<#>.<extension> where <#> starts at 1 and increases up the maximum number of revisions you specify. When you reach the revision count limit, the oldest revisions will be replaced with the most recent revision. Revised files maintain their last modified date/time so you can quickly choose which file to restore.
The Revisions and Deleted folder trees enable you to recover an older version of a file, or a previously deleted file. Keeping the Revisions and Deleted folders separate from the regular backup enables you to make an exact restore of your current files, without intermingling revisions and deleted files.
For a description of how the folders are organized within a backup destination, see Backup Destination Hierarchy.
To enable the uncompressed backup option and to specify preferences on saving modified and deleted files, see Backup Configurations - Advanced Properties.
