Backing Up Data

There are two ways to back up your data. Firstly, you can create a backup task. This is done with the help of the New Task Wizard which can be opened in three ways:

• On the File menu, click New Task.
• Click the New Task button on the program toolbar.
• Right-click in the Task View window to see the shortcut menu, and then click New Task.

Backup tasks can be created in two modes:

• Standard mode. Standard mode has a minimal set of options and provides a fast way to create a backup task.
• Expert mode. Expert mode is designed for experienced users and allows adjusting an extended set of options.

Each time a backup task is executed (manually or on a schedule) all data included into the backup set will be saved. However, if you don’t want to back up the whole data set, you can back up any separate file or a set of files included into any existing backup task. To do it, follow these steps:

1. In the Task View window select the task that includes files or folders you want to back up.
2. In the File View window select the needed files and folders with the help of the standard Windows selection methods (use CTRL to select a single task, SHIFT to select a row of consecutive tasks, etc.).
3. Right-click on any of the selected items to open the shortcut menu, and then click Backup.

The files you selected will be backed up to the location specified in the backup task.
