Creating an online backup set

A backup set contains details of what you want copied and when you want the backup to occur. You must create a backup set before running a backup.

1.	Make sure you are connected to the Internet and logged into your backup account.

If the Backup icon is grayed out, you must create a backup account and log in (see Managing backup accounts).

3.	From the Backup Sets panel, make sure Online Backup Set is displayed in the drop-down box and click Edit.

For online backup, you can only have one backup set.

4.	Enter your backup settings in each screen, as described in the following table. Click Next or Back to move between the screens.

Editing an online backup set
Step 1: Select Items to Back Up	Select the individual drives, folders, and files you want to include in the data set. We recommend that you back up any files that you consider irreplaceable (digital photos, financial records, and so on). Items with unchecked boxes will not be backed up. You can see the contents of folders by clicking the plus sign to the left of the folder name. You can also right-click in the list of files (as shown above) to see the files in different views. Once you select items, the Webroot software calculates the capacity (if Automatically calculate space used is checked). If you exceed the account’s storage allotment, you must choose a lesser amount or purchase more storage (see Adding more online storage).
Step 2: Schedule Automatic Backups	If you want to create an automatic backup schedule, select a frequency, time, and interval. To ensure that this backup runs even if you are logged out, select the Run backups even when Windows user is not logged on checkbox at the bottom (however, the computer must still be turned on for backups to run). If you do not want to schedule automatic backups, de-select the Schedule this backup to run automatically checkbox at the top.
Step 3: Other Backup Options	If you want reports sent to your e-mail address when a scheduled backup is finished, select the Send email reports... checkbox and enter your e-mail address. Also make sure that the Internet connection speed (Dial-up, DSL/Cable, or Corporate LAN) reflects your current connection type.
Step 4: Summary	Review your backup set selections. If necessary, return to previous screens by clicking Back.

You can also add a file or folder to the online backup set at any time from Windows Explorer or from your Windows Desktop. To do this, right-click on the file or folder, then select Protect with Webroot Backup from the pop-up menu. The file or folder is then included in the next scheduled online backup.
