Creating a backup job.

1. Click the Add job… button on the toolbar. Enter a unique job name in the new dialog box. The Select Schedule field is used to link the backup job with some previously created schedule task. Select the task we created earlier in this field.

2. Select the Backup type. You can select Full Backup and in this case all files will be always backed up. If you select Incremental backup, only those files that have been modified or created since the last backup will be backed up. If you select the Full > Incremental option, all operation will be performed in the incremental backup mode after the first successful backup.

3. Switch to the Backup Settings tab. Here you can select the compression algorithm and rate, the encryption algorithm and the password used for encrypting. Make sure you memorize the password because it will be impossible to recover data if you forget it.

Backup Deluxe 2005 allows you to specify the template for the names of your backup archives. You can see the list of all available macros by clicking the right mouse button. All macros are intuitive and do not require a detailed description.

You can also use macros in the name of the folder where your backups are stored.

Along with macros, you can also use any valid characters in file names. If you use some invalid characters, the program will replace them with the hyphen character.

4. Then switch to the What to backup tab. Here you can specify object that should be backed up. Click the Add Files… button to back up files and folders. You can use the Select files dialog box to specify the initial folder. This will add all files in this folder and all subfolders with all files stored in them that meet the conditions specified in the filter. You can select one of the predefined filters or create your own filter as it is shown here.

5. Use the OK button to close the dialog box. And you will see the specified data in the list of selected objects. In the same way you can add keys and values from the Windows registry. Use the Add reg. key… button for that. You can add up to 50 objects to a job.

6. Switch to the Where to backup tab after you add all necessary objects. Here you can specify where the program should back up your data. It can be the local disk, a network drive, an FTP server or a CD / DVD. All settings in this dialog box are as simple as possible and should not present any difficulties.

Consult your network administrator, if you do not have access rights to the network resource or forgot the password.

We do not recommend that you store your data backups on one physical or logical disk with the original data.

7. Use the OK button to close the dialog box for creating backup jobs.

The program is ready to back up data.
