A good example of ready-to-use backup profile which is configured to back up user's Documents directory to USB Flash Drive is delivered with the program. This example is independent of your system environment, so you don't need to do any changes, only execute it and explore results:
- Insert USB memory stick;
- Launch backup manager (D_backm.exe);
- Press Open button on toolbar and select profile "My_documents_to_flash.bks";
- Press Back Up button - that will open the backup sheet. On this sheet press "Run Job" button. That's all, the program will perform the following backup job automatically without your help.
Pay attention, that this example is independent of location of your documents directory and USB flash drive letter, assigned by system.
How to setup USB flash drive as backup storage wihout referring to the device drive letter
Open Config menu and navigate to General sheet:
You see, that Primary Backup directory (the directory where the program should locate backup) is{Flash}\Backup. Here {Flash} is a Macro. The program finds the drive letter, assigned to USB and replaces the macro {Flash} by this letter on data processing.
How to specify user's documents directory independent of the user, logged on
Navigate to the Files sheet. Here you creates a list of files or directories to be backed up. Double click on a single file path {My Documents} in the paths table, that will open the path's property editor
You see, that the user's documents directory is also specified as macro {My_Documents}. This macro will be substituted at execution by the path which depends on the user who has launched the program.
