□ The Publish on the Web Checkbox determines if an entry should be
accessible from the web or not.
1.5.2.2. Using formatting tags in entry texts

Formatting tags comes in pairs. For each tag type there is a start tag, and an
end tag. The tags simply determine how any text between the start and end
tag is to be formatted and displayed when viewed in a web browser.
□ If any text is selected in the editor, the start and end tags are inserted
before and after the selected text.
1.5.2.2.1. color

□ By clicking the Color Tag Toolbar Button a color dialog pops up. By
selecting a color and clicking OK, the pair [color=#XxYyZz] and
[/color] is inserted in the body text. (XxYyZz is the hexadecimal
representation of the selected color)
1.5.2.2.2. align
□ By clicking the Align Dropdown List, the tags [center] and [right]
are listed for selection.
□ Text between [center] and [/center] is aligned centered when

displayed in your web browser, and text between [right] and [/right] is
aligned right.
□ By default all text is left aligned.

1.5.2.2.3. bold, italics, and underline
□ Any text between the pairs [b] and [/b], [i] and [/i], and [u] and
[/u] is formatted using the styles bold, italic, and underline respectively.
1.5.2.2.4. img
□ By using the img-tag any image on the web can be displayed inline in your
blog body text. The format is [img]<Image url>[/img], where <Image
url> is the full url to the desired image.
□ For example [img]http://www.host.org/image.jpg[/img] would

display the image image.jpg from www.host.org inline in your blog entry
when viewed in your web browser.
1.5.2.2.5. url
□ The url tag inserts normal web links into your text. The format is
[url=<link url>]<name of link>[/url]. Where <link url> is the
web address of your link, and <name of link> determines the name of the
link.
□ For example: I
found the information by using my
[url=http://www.google.com]favorite search engine[/url].

would display the text with a link that, when clicked on, would take you to
Google.
1.5.2.2.6. email
□ The email tag lets you insert e-mail links in blog entries. The format is
[email]<e-mail address>[/email].
□ For example: [email]webmaster@host.org[/email], inserts an e-

mail link, that when clicked on in your web browser, starts your default mail
program in order to compose a message to webmaster@host.org.
1.5.2.3. Adding images to blog entries

□ By clicking the Add Image Button a file dialog appears. Selecting one or
several images, and clicking OK uploads selected images. After the images
are uploaded thumbnail representations of the images are displayed to the

3. Guides, Tutorials, and FAQs

3.1. Backup Tutorial and FAQ
3.1.1. Introduction
Just imagine if someone asked you if you knew of a backup system that could be
configured such that it each Sunday, for example, would make a full backup of
important documents, and all other days of the week only would backup files which
were new or changed. Suppose also that in order to ensure maximal safety, each
backup should be stored remotely on a secure site, embedded firmly in the absolutely
rock solid Swedish bedrock; in fact, stored on a server so secure that communication

with the outside world only were to be allowed on channels utilizing no less that 2048
bit encryption. Finally suppose that all files in each and every backup could be
accessed from any Windows computer anywhere in world with a connection to the
Internet.
Now you might think, bearing in mind any regular backup products you might have
used, that if such a backup system existed, surely setting it up and configuring it might
require at least a PhD in Computer Science. However, in the following you will see
that:
Not only does Diino Backup meet all of the requirements above - but also –
configuration and usage are as easy as 1-2-3!
3.1.2. Illustrated Tutorial
The goal of this tutorial will be to create a backup job that will backup all your
important files on regular intervals. Specifically we want to make a full backup of the
selected files every Sunday and Wednesday, and all other days we only want to
backup files that are new or have changed since the last backup. All steps in the
tutorial should be self explanatory for any user familiar with Windows computers.
3.1.2.1. Step 1 – Start Diino Backup and Create a New Backup Job
The first time you start Diino Backup there are no backup jobs defined, so your screen
will look something like this
Image 1 – Diino Backup, first run
• Simply click the New Button to create a new Job.

3.1.2.2. Step 2 – Define what the backup job should do
After clicking the New Button the last step the following window will appear
Image 2 – A Blank New Backup Job
Backup Name
The first thing we will need to do is to give the backup a meaningful name.
• Type in a Backup Name.
(I chose ‘My First Backup’ as Backup Name.)
Folders to Backup

Now we need to add the folders we want to backup. One can either drag-and-drop the
folders one wishes to backup or click the Add Button.
• Add some folder, either by clicking the Add Button, or by dragging and
dropping folders onto the Folder List.
(I chose to click the button as it brings up a menu list of common folders that one
might want to backup.)
Image 3 – Clicking Add Brings up a List of Common Folders to Backup
(I added two folders, ‘My Documents’ and ‘Favourites’.)
Account to store backup on
Type in your Diino Username and your Diino Password, and click the Store
Password Checkbox. We need to store the password since we want the backup to be
automatic. You can also click the Check Account Button, which simply tries to login
with the supplied username and password (and then logs out again).
Scheduling
Now, remember that we wanted to make a full backup every Sunday and Wednesday,
and all other days we only want to backup new of changed files.
• Select Weekly / Daily and Click the Settings Button.
Now the following window will appear

Image 4 – Weekly / Daily Schedule
• Simply make the required changes. (Uncheck Wednesday under Incremental

Backup and check Wednesday for Full backup.)
• You might also want to change the time at which backups should run.
• Click the OK Button.
Advanced Options
You can select if you want to backup files that are hidden. Also, you might want to
close Outlook before backup jobs are started, if so just check the corresponding
checkbox.
In conclusion
After filling in the details in this step your Window should look something like this

Image 5 – Backup Job before saving
• If everything looks fine, then press the Save Button.
After saving, you will get back to the Jobs View.
Now your newly created job should be visible, and your screen should look something
like this

Image 6 – Backup jobs view after saving your first job
Now you can either run the backup manually by clicking the Run Button, or exit the
program. For demonstrative purposes:
• Click the Run Button. This will create an unscheduled full backup.
A progress dialog will now pop up displaying what is going on during each stage of
performing a backup job.
Image 7 – Progress dialog when performing a manual backup
As you can tell by the screen shot, unscheduled backups are independent of scheduled
ones. This means that you safely can remove old unscheduled backups from your
Diino account, without interfering with your backup schedule.
3.1.2.3. Step 3 – Access your backed up data from your Diino Client
• Start Diino as you normally would and enter the My Backups folder.

In this folder there should now be a new folder corresponding to the Manual
backup that was performed in step 2. In my case I have a My First Backup
folder.
• Enter the folder corresponding to the unscheduled backup that was performed
in step 2.
Here you will now find a file containing the backed up files. In my case:
Image8 – Accessing backed up files from Diino
• Double click on the Backup File.
After a while, depending on the size of the backup, Windows will automatically
display the contents of your backup.
3.1.3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Backup

Q: Does Diino or Diino backup have to be running when I have scheduled some
backups?
A: No, the Windows Scheduler, which is always running, keeps track of when to start
the backup jobs.
Q: How can I schedule intervals longer than one week, or shorter than one day?

A: In the Edit Backup Job Window, under Scheduling, select Advanced and click
Settings. The Windows Scheduler will be displayed containing a list of tasks.
Among them there should be two tasks corresponding to the job you are editing. Now
click one of them to set the interval you want. You need to edit both the incremental
and the full task since they aren’t dependant on each other.
Q: What method is used to determine what files to include in incremental backups?

A: A file is included if it’s new or changed. (That is, the file date of a file is newer
than the time of the last backup.)
Q: What format is used for backups?

A: The regular zip format for sizes less than 4 GB, and zip64 for larger files.
Q: How much data is sent for incremental backups?

A: It depends on how many files have changed since your last backup. In any case,
since backups are stored in zip files, the smallest addition to an incremental backup is
a complete file.
Q: Can I backup files from another computer without mapping a share to a drive
letter?
A: Yes, simply browse to the share you want to backup. Or type in the name
manually, say ‘\\SERVER\c$\Folder’
Q: Can I add folders from more than one drive or computer in one backup?
A: Yes, in all backups the root contains the drive or computer you have backed up
from. If you have added three folders: ‘C:\MyPhotos’, ‘D:\Important Documents’, and
‘\\SERVER\c$\Folder’ the structure of your zip archive will look like this:
The Backup (Zip-File)

C
MyPhotos
D
Important Documents
SERVER
C
Folder
Q: I have another backup program installed; do I need to uninstall it before using

Diino Backup?
A: In general there would be no need for that. What we can say is that Diino backup is
designed to play along nicely with other backup programs, but we cannot, of course,
guarantee that the converse is true.
