CHOOSING CATEGORIES OF CONTENT TO BE BACKED UP – REQUIRED

4. All of the categories are selected by default. Choose the categories of content to be

backed up, for example, Text Documents, Photos, and Videos.

• To include a category, for example, Photos, in the backup, make sure that the box to

the left of the category name is checked . If it isn’t, click the box to check

it. You can add and remove the checkmark by clicking in the box.

• To exclude a category, for example, Music, from the backup, make sure that the box

to the left of the category name is unchecked . If it is checked, click the

box to uncheck it.

Note: You can make a finer selection by choosing file types within each category. For

details, see “How do I choose individual file types for backup” on page 56 in the

“Advanced topics” chapter.

5. When you are finished choosing content categories, click Next >.

Note: You must choose at least one file type or category – you cannot leave all file types

and categories unchecked.
