To create a new backup, click New on the toolbar to launch the backup job wizard.The job wizard is comprised of four steps (Files, Backup to, Backup Type and Schedule), each step involves setting up your backup job. In the first step, you need to choose the files and folders which you want to backup. You can select the files and folders manually, or you may click some of the default variables such as My Documents, My Videos etc. to make quick selections. Additionally, you can type file extensions along with size limit for files that you want to include or exclude during the backup process.

Files

The next step lets you specify the output destination. Here, you may choose USB/external storage, local or network storage, backup to optical drive such as CD/DVD/Blu-ray and back up to an FTP server option. If you choose FTP server option, then you need to add a FTP account by specifying the required details including FTP server, host name, user name and password etc.

Backup To

In the third step, specify your backup type i.e. Full backup or Incremental backup. Full backup creates backup of all the files, while the latter only adds any additional files to the already created backup to target location. It also supports securing your backed up files from external unauthorized sources via MEO file encryption.

Backup Type

The last step of the wizard enables you to either schedule the job or start it immediately. In case you want to create a schedule, just mark Schedule backup, and then select type of schedule and start time/day of the job. When you have successfully configured the backup settings, click Finish to add the backup job to main window.
