The first of these, Subdirectories, is useful for excluding sub-folders from the backup. There are three more tabs at the bottom of this window. The Other Options tab has a setting that can synchronize the backup directory with the destination, which can be handy in case you want to restore files that you deleted from the source. Moving on to the Task Settings tab, here's where you can define the backup method, AES Encryption (128/256 bit) settings. Want to add more folders or files, use the pane on the right to do that. You can sort, reorder, or remove folders from this list. The folders that you have selected are displayed under the tab that's captioned "Directories to be backed up". I'll mention some options that it offers. You can create backup tasks manually too, but the process is a bit different as you will be doing this from the Configure Backups window, which is quite similar to the program's Control Panel. You can choose a post-backup action to be taken when the task is completed: shutdown/logoff/standby/hibernate the computer, or do nothing. A small pop-up window should appear displaying the backup progress (and then encrypts it). The program should open a new window, hit the Start Backup button to begin the process. Don't forget to save the task, give it a name that you can recognize in case you plan on creating multiple tasks. Personal Backup can run the backup task automatically at the time and day of your choice, or you can start the task manually. Note: Encryption and verification of files takes additional time to complete but secure the data and ensure that the backed up files are not corrupt. Add a layer of security to the backup by choosing to encrypt the files with a password. As a precaution to ensure that there were no errors during the process, "enable the verify files after backup" option. You can save storage space by opting for compression, as ZIP or GZ. The backup method can be set to preserve the folder structure, separate it by directories, or use a single folder for all the files. You may choose to save the data as separate files or archives. The final step is to set the backup settings.
To choose other directories, use the icon with the folder and magnifying glass. The second icon with a P on it lets you select folders located under the C:\ProgramData directory. Just check the ones you want and then click on the icon below the list. The program offers quick selection of user directories such as the Documents, Music, Pictures or Desktop folders. Now you have to pick the files and folders that you want to backup.
