The General page defines the appearance of the backup job in the backup list.

Name

Enter the name of the backup job. This name will appear in the backup list, right under the chosen picture. This field is mandatory.

The name of the backup job is closely related to the name of the subdirectory in destination that contains zipped and mirrored files and to the name of the catalog. That is why when you rename the backup job, the name of the catalog and the name of the subdirectory from destination are also changed if possible.

If the destination is on HDD (local), LAN (network) or FTP (remote) the name of the subdirectory and the name of the catalog are always changed, except for the case when you do not have enough permission to rename or some files are locked.

If the destination is on a removable disk CD, DVD, floppy disk and you have run the backup job, the catalog and the subdirectory in destination are already created and they will not be changed. If the backup job has not been run yet, then the catalog and the subdirectory will be created with a name similar to the backup job at first backup run.

Group

Select the group where you want the backup job to appear. If no group is available or you want to define a new group, just type the name of the group and it will be created. This field is mandatory.

Predefined backup

Select a predefined backup you want to use:

·	None - You will have to choose the backup sources on the Sources page

·	My Documents - The source of your backup will be the My Documents folder

·	My Pictures - The source of your backup will be the My Pictures folder

·	Outlook Express - The job will backup all your Outlook Express emails and settings

·	Backup4all Configurations - The job will backup the configuration files of Backup4all

The predefined backups will always restore your backup in the correct folders, even if you have changed the computer.
