the archive already has incremental backups, you can select any of the target archive files. It doesn't

matter which one you select, as the program recognizes them as a single archive.

If you want to change the location of added backup files, browse for a new backup location after

clicking the Browse button, otherwise leave the location the same as that of the existing archive.

The "farther" you store the archive from the original folders, the safer it will be in case of disaster.

For example, saving the archive to another hard disk will protect your data if the primary disk is

damaged. Data saved to a network disk or removable media will survive even if all your local hard

disks are damaged.

After selecting the archive location and naming the backup archive to be created, you have

completed all the required steps for a backup task and this is confirmed by the fact that you come to

the Finish step with the Summary of the backup task being displayed on the right pane. All the

remaining steps are optional and in many cases you may omit them and just click Proceed.

Now let's see what optional steps you can set up while configuring a backup task. Click the Options

button.

8.2.3 Backup method

Select whether you want to create a full or incremental backup. If you have not backed up the

selected data yet, or the full archive is old and you want to create a new master backup file, choose

full backup. Otherwise it is recommended that you create an incremental backup (see Full and

incremental backups (p. 13

)).

If you are adding a backup to the existing backup archive, the Full method will be unselectable.
