Step 4: Advanced Backup Settings
In this step of the New Task Wizard you need to select what type of backup you are going to perform: full, incremental or differential. Also, you may set up additional features that are not available in Standard Mode.

- Select backup type.
- Full backup: The program backs up all selected data on every backup session.
- Incremental backup: The program backs up only files that have been changed since the previous backup session.
- Differential backup: The program backs up only new files and parts of files that have been changed since the last Full backup.
- Check Delete all files in the destination except those being backed up to enable deletion of files in the destination folder that have no relation to the current backup task.
- Check Store backups with timestamps to enable timestamps. Your backups will be provided with the information as to when they were created.
- To define properties of time labeling, click Timestamp format settings.... The Timestamps format settings window will appear.
- Select the desired timestamp accuracy. You may select between month, week, day, hour or minute.
- Select the timestamp format.
- Choose how to treat older versions of backups. If you are creating a full backup task, you can keep them all, leave only certain number of latest versions, or keep old ones for a period of time. For incremental backup only the first option is available.
- When finished, click OK.
- Click File-specific settings to select how to treat different file types while backing up.
- Check Open files exclusively to prevent other applications address files during the backup process.
