Z-DBackup is used with backup sets (up to 250 in the professional version and 20 in the free version). For each backup set, you can specify which files and folders to include in the backup, whether the backup should be compressed, encrypted, where it should be stored etc. These settings are saved so that you can do regular backups easily.

 

 


Settings in the Backup Set Window

The Backup Set Window is split into seven tabs. All settings are with regard to the backup set which is selected in the main program window. Its number is shown in the title bar for clarity. The tabs are as follows:
 

Backup

Backup name and medium 

Source

Source path  (what should be backed up)

Target

Target path  (where should it be backed up)

Settings

Extended settings 

DVD/Tape

Tape drives, CD burners and external programs 

FTP/SSH

Registry

Actions

All basic settings for a backup set are done on the tabs Source  and Target. For a quick first backup, you only need very few of these options:

Backup name

Source path

Target path

With a click on  OK , the settings are saved and the window is closed. The buttons at the bottom of the window have the following functions:
