Backing up files to tape

Before initiating a backup, you must select some files to archive. There are three ways to select files for backup:

  1. Highlight a file or folder in the local file tree. Only the selected file or subfolder will be archived.

  2. Highlight a backup profile in the tree. Only the files in the backup profile will be archived.

  3. Checkmark selected files in the local file tree. Only the checked files and/or subfolders will be archived.

There are four ways to initiate a backup:

  1. Select Backup... from the File menu.

  2. Click on the backup icon in the toolbar.

  3. right mouse button click on a file or folder in the local file tree, and select Backup....

  4. right mouse button click on a backup profile, and select Backup....

Once the backup has been initiated, the Backup Options dialog will appear. This dialog gives you a chance to review the selected files, and change the backup options.

After accepting the backup options, the Backup dialog will appear. This dialog shows the progress of the backup including throughput and time remaining.
