Creating a Full Backup Set

A full backup is used to establish a baseline archive of your critical data files. A fresh copy of all folders, subfolders and files that you identify is sent to the remote server. Because of the large amount of data to be transmitted, a full backup is performed infrequently - usually on a weekend or other time when the computer is not in heavy use.

The following instructions will walk you through the process of creating a full backup set. You will perform three basic tasks:

1. Select the pre-configured backup set template for a full backup
2. Schedule the time that your full backup will be performed, and
3. Identify the folders, subfolders and specific files you want included in the backup set

Using the pull-down menu located to the right of the words Backup Set on your client software, change the selection to Default - Full. Your screen should look similar to the picture below.

Next, using the main text menu item select "Schedule > Backup Schedule…" The dialog box shown below will open. This permits you to select the time(s) you want your full backup to commence.
