In the second step of the New Backup Wizard, you must select the files and folders to be used by Backup4all for the backup.

 

03 how to configure a new backup2

 

You can:

add a whole folder by pressing the Add folder button
add one or several files by pressing the Add files button
remove any file or folder by selecting it and pressing the Remove button
exclude subdirectories and files from backup by un-checking the thickbox chk-icon

 

You must add at least one file or directory in order to continue with the next step of the wizard.

If the source drive is missing (when the network is disconnected for instance or floppy, CD/DVD is missing), a warning message is shown containing the list of missing drives. The user can choose Abort to stop the backup process, Retry to check the drive again, Ignore to mark the source folder as deleted and continue with the next sources. If the scheduler starts the backup then the system will retry as many times as set in the Tools->Options->Backup window and if still not possible to access the drive it will abort the backup process.

 

If you have filters defined in Tools->Options->Filters, they will be listed in the Filters list. You can use this filters to customize the backup sources selection. All filters listed are include filters. Do not select any filter if you want to backup all files.

 

Tips:

try to keep the number of checked files and folders greater than the number of unchecked files and folders - backup process will run faster this way.
you can add files/folders to the Sources window by dragging and dropping them from Windows Explorer.
