Getting started

I cannot seem to get the idea of the program. I have it insalled but I do not know what the preliminary steps are to construct a backup set. I Ihave it all scheduled to run weekly but cannot seem to get a handle on how to make up a backup set. Each time i "Browse" the tree and select a file folder the prvious one disappears as welll as the newly named backup set. Could you please give me a simple step by step to get started. Point of interest... I donated before I downloaded.

Hi Bob. Here is a brief guide: 1. Create a new backup set (& rename it if you want to). 2. Right click on the new set and select 'Change backup source'. Browse to the folder you want to back up. 3. Right click on the new set and select 'Change backup destination'. Browse to the folder you want to back up to. 4. Right click on the new set and select 'Execute backup set'. The backup process will now begin and start copying files. I hope you get it right. Thanks for the donation.
