7. Select the backup options (that is, backup file splitting, compression level, password 
protection, pre/post backup commands etc.). You may Use default options or Set the 
options manually. If the latter is the case, the settings will be applied only to the 
current backup task. Alternatively, you can edit the default options from the current 
screen. Then your settings will be saved as the defaults. See 
5.3 Setting backup options
for more information. 
8. Provide a comment for the archive. This can help prevent you from restoring the wrong 
files. However, you can choose not to make any notes. The backup file size and creation 
date are automatically appended to the description, so you do not need to enter this 
information. 
9. At the final step, the backup task summary is displayed. Up to this point, you can click 
Back to make changes in the created task. Clicking Proceed will launch the task 
execution.  
10. The task progress will be shown in a special window. You can stop the procedure by 
clicking Cancel. 
You can also close the progress window by clicking Hide. The backup creation will 
continue, but you will be able to start another operation or close the main program 
window. In the latter case, the program will continue working in the background and will 
automatically close once the backup archive is ready. If you prepare some more backup 
operations, they will be queued after the current one.
