Backing Up Data
To ensure that a safe copy of your important data is always available,
you can back up specific files or folders. You can back up your data to
hard drive, to disc, or to a removable medium (such as a USB drive).
If you need to save your backup file across several discs, you can
even split the backup file into volumes of a specific size to fit your
backup media.
To back up your data, do this:
1. Click or use the View > Backup command to open the
backup procedure. The Select Source option opens by default.
2. Locate and check the files and folders that you want to back up
in the two file directory panes. (These panes resemble Windows
Explorer in functionality.)
An empty box indicates that the folder has not been selected
for backing up.
A green check mark indicates that all of the folder’s contents
are selected for backing up.
A yellow check mark indicates that only some of the folder’s
contents are selected for backing up.
3. Click Select Destination, then set your backup destination.
Backup destination: Select your backup destination from the
drop-down box. Backup destinations may include hard disk
or a disc burner (depending on your available hardware).
Backup filename: Give each backup file a unique name. To
save the backup file to a different directory, click Browse,
then locate and select the folder you want to use.
