File Backup

Thread needs solution

I am currently using True Image Home 2011. I do consistent monthly backups using the file backup option. However, I have not yet found a way to set the parameters for the backup (selecting some folders and excluding others) and have them saved from month to month. Is there a way to do this in my version, or in one of the more recent versions?

Thanks

Ron,
The backup task is created once with all the settings (scheduled or
non-scheduled) you want and then saved under the "Backup later" option.
After that is completed, any and all future non-scheduled backups are
initiated by opening the program and clicking the "Backup now" option so
unless you use different backups to backup different data areas, there is not
further need for additional backup task creation nor schedule changes.

The above shows how to make repetive backups of the same selections witihout creating a new task.

If you want to basically re-use the same selection with minior changes, one of the easiest ways is to
"clone" the existing task and make the minor changes. The cloned task will have all the old selections.
The newly cloned task with have the same name as the original task except with (1) in front of the name.

Edit the cloned task and
You can then just make the changes in file selection,
also change the name of the task.
change the name of the storage folder

The result will be a new additional backup task with all the new changes.

The clone task option is within each of your existing backup tasks.
Place mouse pointer inside the task and click settings/click MORE/click Clone settings.
Your 2011 should have these options but I am working from 2014.
