Step 7: Ready to Create New Task

In the last step of the New Task Wizard you need to name your backup task.

1. Enter a unique task name in the text field.



2. Check the properties of the newly created task in the box below the name field. If one or more settings are incorrect, click Back to return to previous steps and change the needed parameters. If the task is not intended to be performed right after the creation, you can modify its properties later. To learn about modifying tasks, refer to Modifying Task.


3. Check Execute this task immediately if you want to run the created task straight away after the completion. If the checkbox is not checked, the task will be executed on schedule specified in Step 6, or can be executed on demand. To learn more, refer to Running task.


4. Click Finish.

The newly created task will appear in the Task View window.

Once you've created and executed a Backup task, Handy Backup will create a corresponding index file (backup.hbi or spanXXXX.hbi in case of backup to CD/DVD, where XXXX is a hexadecimal number of span) containing information on the files included in this task. Index files are stored along with backup files. They are essential to perform restoration and synchronization tasks, don’t modify them manually.
