Context-sensitive help

Z-TapeBackup includes a context-sensitive help feature. If you need assistance with a dialog window or a specific program function, simply press the F1 key, and a help window will appear. Z-TapeBackup utilizes the Microsoft® HTML-based help system.


 Upon starting the application, the Z-TapeBackup main window is displayed. From this window, you can access all actions, settings, backup, and restore operations.
