Select the target drive.
 

The backup image will be saved on the selected drive. For every source drive one image file will be created, containing all data from that drive.

Multiple backup image files of one source drive can only be created on network drives. To do so you can choose a name format for the subdirectory the image files of each backup should be stored in.

Be sure that the target drive has enough free space available.

  The backup image has to be saved to a hard drive which doesn't contain any of the source drives.
 

Shutdown computer

Use this option if you want the computer to be shut down automatically after backup.
 

Print Log File

Activate this option if the log file for the backup should be printed out automatically after backup.

 E-Mail Notification

Z-DBackup can send e-mails to a user-defined e-mail address. This option is especially useful for system administrators who want to use Z-DBackup on remote servers and still be notified about all backup results. The mail contains the time, date and backup log file. You can configure the sender and recipient data in the program settings – e-mail settings .
 

Link with another backup set

If you want several backup sets to start directly after one another (as one job) e.g. to copy data from two different drives or partitions, you can link backup sets with this option. This link is a forward link, i.e. A link from the current backup set will point to the backup set selected here. The backup set you select here will be started automatically after the current backup set has finished its backup task.

 You can only link one backup set with one other backup set directly, but you could link the second backup set to a third one and thus concatenate as many backup-sets as you have.

Example:
You have 4 Backup Sets: Backup Set 1 to Backup Set 4

You link Backup Set 4 with Backup Set 2 (in the Settings of Backup Set 4).

The link can be imagined like this:    Backup Set 4 --> Backup Set 2

Now, when Backup Set 4 gets started, Backup Set 2 will start automatically after Backup Set 4 has finished.

You then link Backup Set 2 with Backup Set 3 (in the Settings of Backup Set 2)

 The links between the 3 backup sets can be imagined like this:    Backup Set 4 --> Backup Set 2 --> Backup Set 3

Now, when Backup Set 4 gets started, Backup Set 2 will start after Backup Set 4 hast finished and Backup Set 3 will start after Backup Set 2 hast finished.
Also, whenever Backup Set 2 gets started, Backup Set 3 will start automatically after Backup Set 2 has finished.
 

The shutdown option is disabled for linked backup sets because only the last backup set of one link chain can shut down the computer.

  In the freeware version it is not possible to batch-process linked backup sets, i.e. only the called backup set is processed!
