Do manually backup

Sometimes it might be usefull to start a backup/burn session from your 'normal' Linux (installed on your harddisk), instead of booting with the CD and then run an automated backup. Be sure you've read the Concept of manually backup .
If you decide to manually run a backup/burn session, in any case, you have to make the right selections in this window and the window Manually backup - boot stuff for CD . Depending on your choices, maybe you also have to configure the right parameters in all the other windows.
Remember, that the option Zip-day (selected in the CD Backup Linux configuraton tool or stored in a file, see below), will decide, if your harddisk partitions are read out, zipped and stored on the configured harddisk partition as temporary backup files or if some already existing backup files will be burned on CD!

The selection, you make in this window, will decide, where from the values of only the following options will be taken, when doing the backup:

Backup options all options of this window
Backup list all options of this window
CD-recorder options all options of this window
Create initial boot-CD only the options harddisk partition and subdirectory

How to handle with the other options, which are needed for the boot sutff, is configured in the window Manually backup - boot stuff for CD . (Yes the options 'harddisk partition' and 'subdirectory' are used for both. This might be a reason to use a saved configuration file.)

Take options from configuration tool

When you've selected this, the actual values of the above mentioned options of the CD Backup Linux configuration tool will be taken.

Take options from configuration file

Select this, to take the values of the above mentioned options out of an already stored configuration file. Type in its path and filename in the textfield.
