If you want to make backup copies of certain files (photos, videos, documents...) regularly, follow these steps:

Click Status in the main screen in .
In the Optimization and backup copies section, click Settings.
Click on New copy. You will see a wizard that will take you through the process. Click Next.
There are two ways to select the files that you want to include in the backup copy:

If you want to make backup copies of all the files of a certain type on your computer (for example, all photos, all videos, etc.), select the type of file. You can select the following types of files: Photos, videos, office documents (Word, Excel, etc.), music, email contacts, email messages and Internet Favorites.

Notes:

You must have selected the By file type option from the drop-down list (it will be selected by default).
If you want to view the extensions of the files to be included in the backup copy, click Show extensions.

If you want to make a backup copy of other types of files, select My extensions. After selecting the checkbox, click Add extensions and specify the extension of the new type of file that you want to include in the backup copy.

If you want to exclude certain folders from the backup copy, click Exclusions. Then, select the checkbox next to the folder that you want to exclude.

If you want to make a backup copy of some specific files or folders:

Select By folders from the drop-down list.
Select the checkbox next to the folder that you want to include in the backup copy.

If you want the backup copy to take place at a specific time, click Scheduled and specify the start time. If you donÆt want to schedule the backup copy, click Unscheduled copy. In any of the two cases, you can start the process at any time by clicking Launch now in the backup copies settings.
Write a descriptive name for the backup copy that you want to create. That will help you identify it easily. If you donÆt want other users to access the backup copies, you can password-protect them. Click Protect backup copies and specify a password. On restoring a password-protected backup copy, the program will ask for the password. Click Next.
Click Finish.

If you want, you can specify the disk drive and folder on which you want to save the backup copy. Otherwise, the copy will be saved in a default directory on your hard disk. For more information, refer to the Expiry and location of backup copies section.
