  2. Enter the backup set name. The name can include letters, numbers, space and specific characters(.-_).
  3. Select the files or folders you want to include in this set for backup.



    Note:

    (a)     You can view the files/folders you have selected for backup by clicking Selected files/folders list.
    (b)     You can remove a file or folder from the backup list by selecting the file/folder and then clicking Remove.

  4. Click Schedule Backup.The Schedule backup parameters screen appears.
  5. Set the desired backup parameters and click Update Schedule.
