In the third step of the New Backup Wizard you can choose the backup type.

 

How do you want to backup?

 

From the drop-down list, you can choose one of the available options:

·Make full
·Make mirror

 

Make full

Full backup is the starting point for all other backups and contains all the data in the folders and files that are selected to be backed up. Because full backup stores all files and folders, frequent full backups result in faster and simpler restore operations. Remember that when you choose other backup types, restore jobs may take longer.

Make mirror

A mirror backup is identical to a full backup, with the exception that the files are not compressed in zip files and they cannot be protected with a password. A mirror backup is most frequently used to create an exact copy of the backup data.  It has the benefit that the backup files can also be readily accessed using tools like Windows Explorer.

If you choose the Make mirror option, you can also check the Compress option to zip each file individually, preserving the folder structure. This allows you to use the zip compression and encryption features.

 

 

Encrypt?

 

Use this option if you want to add zip protection to your backups. Type the password you want to use for this backup.

The default encryption used is Standard encryption (Zip2 compatible)
