What do you want to backup?

Top  Previous  Next

In the second step of the New Backup Wizard, you must select the files and folders to be used by FBackup for the backup.

 

You can:

·add a whole folder by pressing the Add folder button
·add one or several files by pressing the Add files button
·remove any file or folder by selecting it and pressing the Remove button
·exclude subdirectories and files from backup by un-checking the thickbox chk-icon

 

You must add at least one file or directory in order to continue with the next step of the wizard.

 

During backup, if the source drive is missing (when the network is disconnected for instance or CD/DVD/Blu-ray is missing), a warning message is shown containing the list of missing drives. The user can choose Abort to stop the backup process, Retry to check the drive again, Ignore to mark the source folder as deleted and continue with the next sources.

 

Filters list

 

In the right side of the New Backup Wizard window there is the Filters list. You can use these filters to customize the file selection.

By default, the list contains filters to exclude temporary and system files such as: hiberfil.sys, pagefile.sys etc. If you don't want to use a filter from that list, simply clear (un-check) it. Clear all filters if you want to backup all files.

 

Tips:

·try to keep the number of checked files and folders greater than the number of unchecked files and folders - backup process will run faster this way.
·you can add files/folders to the Sources window by dragging and dropping them from Windows Explorer.
