In order to backup data on a device you must configure Sync Control and enable one, or more, backup Profiles for each device.

Run one sync at a time. To balance device resource utlization and backup performance, multiple syncs can be run sequentially, or in parallel.

Sync Resource. To further balance device resource utlization and backup performance use Configure Resource, this sets the number of threads syncs consume on the device.

One or more profiles must be enabled for each device.

Custom profiles

Arma supports the use of Wildcards to filter data backup inclusions and exclusions.

Click the Run button to start a sync manually for a device.
