Before initiating a backup, you must select some files to archive. There are three ways to select files for backup:
Highlight a file or directory in the local file tree. Only the selected file or subdirectory will be archived.
Highlight a backup profile in the tree. Only the files in the backup profile will be archived.
Checkmark selected files in the local file tree. Only the checked files and/or subdirectories will be archived.
Three are four ways to initiate a backup:
Select "Backup..." from the "File" menu.
Click on the backup icon in the toolbar.
Right-click on a file or directory in the local file tree, and select "Backup...".
Right-click on a backup profile, and select "Backup...".
Once the backup has been initiated, the "Backup Options" dialog will appear. This dialog gives you a chance to review the selected files, and change the backup options.
After accepting the backup options, the "Backup" dialog will appear. This dialog shows the progress of the backup including throughput and time remaining.
