Introduction
The Pending list in the BigMIND desktop application contains files scheduled for backup during the next backup run. Once a file is successfully backed up to the Cloud, it is removed from the Pending list by the BigMIND desktop application.
Searching the Pending Files
To search the Pending list in BigMIND, follow these steps:
- Open the BigMIND desktop application.
- If there are files on the Pending list, the count will be displayed on the Dashboard. Click on that number to open the Pending Files window.
- Type the search string in the Search Pending Files field and press Enter or click the Search button. The search results will be displayed.
Skipping a Pending File
To delay the backup of a specific file currently in the Pending list until the next backup run, follow these steps:
- Open the BigMIND desktop application and click the Pending list.
- Select the target file.
- Click the Skip button.
The file will be immediately removed from the Pending list and will reappear there in the next backup run.
Removing a Pending File
If you no longer want to back up a specific file in the Pending list, you can remove it and prevent BigMIND from trying to back it up in the future:
- Open the BigMIND desktop application and click the Pending list.
- Select the target file.
- Click the Remove button.
The file will be instantly removed from the Pending list and added to the Auto Exclude list.
Files in the Pending List Not Getting Backed Up
