To back up files and folders
1
On the Tasks menu, click Run or Manage Backups.
2
In the Run or Manage Backups window, click Define New.
If you have not yet defined a backup, the Easy Setup dialog box appears.
3
Select Back up selected files and folders, and then click Next.
4
On the Select Files and Folders to Back Up panel, select the files and folders
that you want to include in your backup.
See
“Select Files and Folders to Back Up options” on page 109.
Note: On all versions of Windows except for Windows Vista, the My Documents
folder contains two subfolders by default: My Pictures and My Music. These
folders contain only the shortcuts to folders at another location and not the
actual files.
If you intend to back up your pictures and music files, be sure to include the
actual folders where your files are stored. On Windows Vista, these folders
exist at the same level as Documents (formerly, My Documents).
