Selecting Files and Folders for Backup
@Backup offers many useful ways to select which files to backup and to manage your backup set. Use the File Selection Guide below to help you find your important data.

Selecting Files with your mouse  

You can select your important files and folders for backup with the click of your mouse.

  1. Locate the file or folder you want to backup

  2. Right click it to view the shortcut menu

  3. Select the option "Add to Daily Backup"

  4. Repeat the same steps for all the files or folders you would like to backup

This will add the file or folder and its contents to your backup set. 

When you add new files to a folder selected for backup, the files are added to the backup set. If you remove files from a folder selected for backup, the files are removed from your backup set.
