My data backups

Thread needs solution

Can I select multiple drives as the source when I create a custom backup of my data? If so, how? For instance, I want to back up all of my Microsoft Word docs across three drives; c:, f:, and g:. The program only seems to allow me to choose one drive (or folder as the source).

If that's the case, I've got to create three custom backups to capture the docs across all three drives. It works, but it's not very elegant.

Does anybody know if this can be done, if so, how?

Thanks in advance!

Hope this offers some help..

I was playing with this last night - it wasn't obvious to me at first but when you Select the My Data backup option at the first screen there is a button in the title bar named 'Add New Category'.

I haven't tried this but seems you should be able to add 3 new categories - one for each of those sources and save it as a scheduled entry.

Seemed to be some issues though when editing the scheduled entry as it seems to load back in all the original default file locations in addition to the new categories you have set-up(?!) Hmm, just when you think you have it sussed... :)

Personally, I would like to see a File Backup option which allows you to select whatever files you want from scratch vs those 4 pre-defined categories.

Trying to use True Image for this purpose is going about it the difficult way. Both Karen's Replicator and Microsoft's Sync Toy make this process a breeze. And both are free.

Hello all,

Mike, It'sme is absolutely correct. You can create a custom category (see attached screen shot 1), add any files you want to back up and save that custom setup.

In the next time you will be able just to select your created category to back up all desired files. For the detailed in information on how to create a custom categories for data backup please refer to the Chapter 9.4.3 of the User's Guide (page 84).

Thank you.
