CREATING A BACKUP TASK
Backup tasks are used for creating backup copies of files and are a set of the following settings:
a set of files for which backup copies will be created;
a storage in which backup copies of files will be created;

A backup task may be created using the wizard.

wizard once it has completed its work, use the Finish button. To stop the wizard at any stage, use the Cancel button.
