Install

To install FBackup 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 FBackup 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 FBackup, 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 FBackup manually if it is in a middle of an operation.

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, FBackup will use the selected language as the default one. After installation, to switch between them, go to FBackup's menu, select Tools->Options->General

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

6). Select additional tasks

·	Create a desktop icon - checked by default, places a shortcut on desktop

·	Associate FBackup 4 with the ".fkc" extension - checked by default, will associate the .fkc files with FBackup (".fkc" are catalogs created by FBackup after each backup)

·	Start on Windows startup - if checked FBackup will load each time Windows starts

·	Create a Quick Launch icon - checked by default, places an icon in the Quick Launch toolbar

·	Check for updates weekly

8) Select languages for the interface - you can check to multiple languages for FBackup's interface

9) Select default interface language - if multiple languages were selected, you need to select a default one

10) Ready to install FBackup. Click on Install to start the installation.
