Backing Up Data
To ensure that a safe copy of your important data is always available,
you can back up specific files or entire drives. You can back up your
data to hard drive, to disc, or to a removable medium (such as a USB
drive). If you need to save your backup file across several discs, you
can even split the backup file into volumes of a specific size to fit your
backup media.
To back up your data, do this:
1. Click the Backup button or use the View > Backup command to
open the backup procedure. The Select Source option opens by
default.
2. Select the type of files you want to back up:
• Files and Folders: back up your data and media files
(including entire folders).
• Application Data: back up data used by programs (such as
Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and Internet Explorer).
Note: The Application Data feature is only available in the full retail
version of PowerBackup.
3. Select the files and folders or programs and data types that you
want to back up in the two file directory panes. (These panes
resemble Windows Explorer in functionality.)
• An empty box indicates that the folder has not been selected
for backing up.
• A green check mark indicates that all of the folder’s contents
are selected for backing up.
• A yellow check mark indicates that only some of the folder’s
contents are selected for backing up.
4. Click Select Destination, then set your backup destination.
• Back up to: Select your backup destination from the drop-
down box. Backup destinations depend on available
hardware, but may include hard disk or a disc burner.
• Back up as: Give each backup file a unique name. To save the
backup file to a different directory, click Browse, then locate
and select the folder you want to use.
