You can use a valid local destination for your backup: hard disk drives, floppy disk drives, zip drives, CD/DVD drives, USB drives or other removable media.
The Local option is selected by default when you define a new backup. From the Destination drive you can select either one of your hard disk partitions, mapped network drives, the floppy disk, CD/DVD drive or other removable drive. By default, the first partition is selected (usually C:).
When you select one of the removable drives, another option appears too: Erase disk before writing. If you check this, before performing the backup job Backup4all will erase everything (if the removable drive supports this function). If the destination is a CD/DVD drive, the burning process can be configured further the CD/DVD Advanced Settings dialog.
In the Folder where to perform the backup field by default it is the path to the My Backup4all 3 folder (\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My Documents\MyBackup4all 3). You can click on the Select another destination icon 
and browse to a directory of your choice where the backup will be stored.
If the destination drive is missing (when the network is disconnected for instance or floppy, CD/DVD is missing), an error message is shown containing the list of missing drives. The user can choose Cancel to stop the backup process or Retry to check the drive again. 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.
