Figure 5.3

Step 1: enter Project information.

[Project name]: the name must be unique and not the same if you have multiple projects. Backup data is
saved under project name. So, projects must not have the same name.
[Comment]: you can fill in information about this project.

The functions inside red box shown in figure 5.3:
[Delete former copy before Tasks starts]: previous backup copy file is automatically removed and
replaced with the new backup copy. Backup project only has one backup copy. Do not enable this option
if you wish to keep every backup copy when backup is performed.
[Compress backup]: backup file is compressed and saved. Please note that original files are compressed
instead of compressing all files into one single file.
Password: password protection for your compressed project backup file. When enabled, enter the same
password you wish to use in both Password and Confirm fields. Please note when password is enabled, if
password is lost, it would be unable to restore the backup.

Figure 5.18

Step 2: Select restore destination.
“Restore to original path” restores the backup files to the same location where the files are backup from.
“Restore to other path” restores the backup files to desired location.
If password protected backup file is selected in Step 1, then Password must be entered to proceed. Figure
5.18
In case the restore destination has files with the same file name, especially in the case of “Restore to
original path”, select one of the three ways to proceed with restore.

1. [Latest file]: files are compared and the latest file overwrites the older.
2. [Override]: backup files will always overwrite the existing file with the same file name.
3. [Skip]: if file with the same file name exists in the destination, restore will ignore and backup file will not
be restored.

Click “Start” to initiate Restore.
