Cannot find the Disk Backup Options Window. View Edit

Thread needs solution

I am ashamed to ask this question but I cannot find the Disk Backup Options Window; can someone please tell me where it is?

I have tried clicking on most of the options on the Start Screen and Tools & Utilities but the DBO does not appear and I am concerned that if I click on something and it starts and I then close it as it is not what I want I will screw up the process.

Sorry to ask such a stupid question but a reply would be really appreciated,

Thank you

click on link #2 below and locate figure 3.
The backup options is located in lower left corner of that screen.
or
when TrueImage is opened, click on the top menu tab which reads "Backup & Recovery" and the backup opitons will be found in lower left corner.

The link will help you to understand the user creation of the TrueImage backup tasks.

Edit: The editing of an existing task is discouraged. The results of an edited task is not always what is expected. My recommendation is rather than edit an existing task, create a new task with the correct settings and point the new task to an empty sub-folder.

Thank you for your useful reply which I have now printed and put in a safe place.

I have one question - What is the difference between auto back up and a differential back up? Are they not the same thing?

Thanks again,

Clive

When creating a backup, one of the decisions is the "type" of backup.
The type choice is either "full"; or full plus incremental; or full plus differential, and any of the the three can be automatic via a schedule. This link explains the differences between incremental or differential.

The 2013 user manual, sections 3.1 and 3.2 on page 40 also discusses the types of backups.

The term "auto backup" has no specific meaning or definitiion to me so I am not sure of what you understand that meaning to be.
