How to configure what to backup?
Hi,
I installed True Image Home 2010, restarted and launched the application. The software basically started a backup automatically. The only problem is that I don't know how to tell what is being backed. I have certain files in certain locations that I really need to have backed up but this software started a backup without allowing me to specify or verify. I was looking for documentation for True Image Home 2010 but don't see anything by that name. The application itself doesn't include Help either which is really odd for a Windows application.
How can I figure out what the software has backed up? Is there a way to configure the software so that I am confident it is backing up what is important to me? I'm sure there is way to configure this but it's not obvious how to do so.
Thanks,
Rob

GroverH,
I found your write-up very useful. I discovered that I could achieve exactly what I wanted to do by creating a new backup task. When I got to the What to Backup step, I found I could select exactly what I wanted to backup. For me it's not important to have a backup of every file on the drive. My initial backup was 77GB which is way beyond what I would actually want to restore. This new backup will work great for my purposes.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Rob,
It's nice to keep at least one full complete disk option backup of everything. This backup should include all partitions on your system drive. By having such a backup, you are prepared to move to another larger or replacement drive should your current drive fail.
