If you have selected the Back up single files option, this takes you to the file selection step. Here, you select all files that you want BackUp Maker to include in the backup operation.

Tab sheet: Files

Click the Files tab to select files you want to save.

Object: File list

The file list contains all the files that you have selected for your backup. Use the Add and Delete buttons to add more files, or to remove any unwanted files from the list. Alternatively, for removing files you can also use the Del key on your keyboard.

Button: Add

Clicking on the Add button opens the customary Windows Open file dialog box. If you wish to add a single file, double-click on it. If you wish to add several files, select them one after the other (by keeping the Shift or the Ctrl key down), and click on the Open button.

Button: Delete

If you wish to remove any files from the list, select them and then click on the Delete button. To select several files, use either the Shift or the Ctrl key on your keyboard to mark a block of files or several individual (dispersed) files. Alternatively, use the Del key on your keyboard to delete highlighted files.

Click the Folders tab to select folders you want to save.

Button: Add directory

Click on the Add directory button (folder icon with the plus sign on the left, above the folder list) to add folders to the list.

Button: Delete directory

To remove highlighted folders from the folders list, click on the Delete directory button (the folder icon with the minus sign above the folder list).

Note: Recursively

"Recursively" means that all subfolders and their files are backed up together with the selected folder. If you wish to change the selection, double-click on a folder in the folder list.
