User's Manual

If you want to change the location of added backup files, browse for a new backup location after
clicking the Browse button, otherwise leave the location the same as that of the existing archive.
The "farther" you store the archive from the original folders, the safer it will be in case of disaster. For
example, saving the archive to another hard disk will protect your data if the primary disk is damaged.
Data saved to a network disk, an FTP server or removable media will survive even if all your local hard
disks are damaged.
See notes and recommendations for supporting FTP servers in Supported storage media.
After selecting the archive location and naming the backup archive to be created, you have
completed all the required steps for a backup task and this is confirmed by the fact that you come to
the Finish step with the Summary of the backup task being diaplayed on the right pane. All the
remaining steps are optional and in many cases you may omit them and just click Proceed. For
example, when you want to proceed with backup right away, you can omit the Scheduling step. If you
do not want to exclude any files from the backup, you can omit the What to exclude step. When you
want to use the default backup options, you can omit the Backup options step, and so on.
Now let's see what optional steps you can set up while configuring a backup task. Click the Options
button.
