Press and hold Ctrl to select multiple drives.
If you do not see a drive that you expected to see, check Show Hidden Drives.

Do one of the following:
■ If you selected a drive that has already been included in a defined backup,
click Next, and then skip to step 8.
■ Click Add drives to an existing backup, click the Select the backup
drop-down list and select an existing backup, and then click Next.
■ Click Define a new backup to define a new backup, and then click Next.

Select the type of recovery point that you want the backup to create.
Schedule a base recovery point with additional recovery
points that contain only incremental changes that were made
to your computer since the previous recovery point.
Incremental recovery points are created faster than the base
recovery point. They also use less storage space than an
independent recovery point.
Note: You can only have one recovery point set defined for
each drive. The Recovery Point Set option is not available if
you have already assigned a selected drive to an existing
backup and specified Recovery Point Set as the recovery
point type. This option also is unavailable if you select an
unmounted drive that cannot be part of a recovery point set.
Recovery point set
(recommended)
Creates a complete, independent copy of the drives that you
select. This backup type typically requires more storage
space, especially if you run the backup multiple times.
