Creating Backup Sets of Your Critical Files We are now ready to specify the important data files to backup. This is done by creating one or more backup sets. A backup set is a list of the files you want to archive -- and a schedule which specifies how often you wish the backup of these files to occur. While the backup client software allows you to create as many unique backup sets as you like, most users focus on only two: a full backup set and a complementary incremental backup set. Each backup set is independently configured and should be thought of as a type of "Internet backup tape." The combination of a periodic full backup and daily incremental backups, provides excellent protection for most users. If you have not already done so, please open the Remote Backup client software by right-clicking on the blue and orange oval icon in your system tray and selecting Open Client Please familiarize yourself with the various menu options available. A full description of the software features and options can be found in the text menu item labeled Help. The online remote backup client software should look similar to the illustration below.
