Click the Change button, from the pop-up dialogue browse to the folder you wish to store your backups in and click OK. If you want to create a new folder to store the backups in, click the New Folder button. Use the Windows Explorer to create the folder.
Type a name in the ‘Enter New Group’ box, click the Add button. Repeat the process for any further groups you want to add. You can have as many, or as few groups as you want.
Using the drive, directory and file boxes, browse to the files or folders you want to add. Select the drive the files are stored on from the lower box. Browse to a folder in the centre box. Double click the folder to open it, the files in the folder will be displayed in the top box ( the file box). Drag any files you want to backup to the 'Files to Backup' window. If you want to add the entire folder to the group, drag the folder to the 'files to backup' window. You can also drag files directly from the desktop, Windows Explorer or any other location. Repeat the process for all files and folders you want to include in the selected group. Then repeat for any additional groups. Multiple selections are also allowed.
To back up a single group, select the group and click on the ' Backup ' button. To backup all groups click the ' Backup All ' button.
If backing up to removable media, such as a floppy disk or Zip drive set the ' Multidisk Mode ' to on from the Options menu. This will allow the backup archive to span multiple disks, should this be necessary.
If you have files on multiple drives or partitions, the restoration of files, should the need arise, is simpler if these files are kept in separate groups. For instance, if you have some files on drive D to backup create a separate group for them and only include files on that drive. That way, if you need to restore them you simply select the D drive and restore the files to the original locations.
