Install
To install Backup4all on a computer you need to have administrative rights. The installation process does not take much time. All you need to do is to follow the instructions of the Backup4all Setup Wizard. There is no need to reboot at the end of the setup, you can run the program right after it is installed on your machine.
If you have already installed an older version of Backup4all, you can install the new version on top of the older one, no need to uninstall it (the installer will recognize if the program is running and ask if you wish to close it in order to continue). You might need to close Backup4all manually if it is in a middle of an operation.
Note: If you have version 2.x (or previous) installed, you can install version 3.x without uninstalling the other one. Backup4all 3 will install and run separately, and will give you the option to import your backup jobs/groups from the previous versions.
When you start the installation process you will be prompted to choose a language for the setup wizard. Later during the setup you can check to install other language files too. If you install multiple language files, Backup4all will use the one selected as the default one. After installation, to switch between them, go to Backup4all's menu, select Tools->Options->Language.
Steps during installation:
| 1) | Select setup language - you need to choose from the drop-down box a language for the setup wizard |
| 2) | Setup welcome message - press Next to continue |
| 3) | License agreement - shows the Backup4all EULA. After you read and accept it, check the I accept the agreement option and Next to continue. |
| 4) | Destination location - gives you the option to select a folder where Backup4all will be installed. By default it creates an entry in the Program Files directory. |

| vii) | Start the Volume Shadow Service - checked by default, the VSS is needed by Backup4all to perform open files backup (usually this service is started by Windows, so if this option is checked Backup4all will verify if is started and if not it will start it) |
