Backup2005 Pro offers 2 ways to backup your data.
You can execute the backup set from the Backup2005 Pro main program, or through the Windows Scheduler (if a job has been scheduled).
The Backup function can be used at any time, even if you have scheduled a backup job for this backup set.
First you need to make active the Backup Set you want to run. The active Backup Set is the one which is displayed with the little check mark.
To start the backup job you can click the Backup button on the toolbar or select the Actions | Backup menu item.

Backup2005 Pro finds all the files to be backed up using the specified options and Backup mode.
At any time you can abort the backup process.
When you click the Abort button, the job will be aborted and the dialog will be hidden only at the end of the current file process.
If you select a removable media, you will be prompted to insert a disk.
Keep in mind; removable media on a network are viewed as fixed.
Errors during process
There are two kinds of error that can occur while processing.
Errors that make it impossible to complete the process: the job is aborted, a message box is displayed with a short text to explain the problem (e.g. network not available, not enough disk space..)
The second kind of error occurs while processing a file. This kind of error, or warning, is generally reported in the log file.
About files in use by another process :
Backup2005 Pro is able to back-up file(s) in use by another process if the file is not locked by it. Files that are locked such as databases or Outlook '.pst' files can't be backed up while in use. You must first close the application to unlock the file. Generally it is a good idea to close all applications before backing up data.
