Backup Introduction

Argentum Backup maintains a list of tasks to control which files and folders to back up and when to back up. Backup copies are stored as Zip files for faster access and better disk space utilization. A separate Zip file is created for each task.

To use Argentum Backup, simply create a number of tasks with files in your computer you want to copy to the backup store. Each task has its own name and icon, and defines source location for files and folders, and how often these files should be copied.

Once tasks are created, you can use Argentum Backup either manually or automatically. If you want to back up files manually, simply click on "Backup Now!" button. Practise this to prepare an instant Zip file for future transmitting to laptop, uploading to Internet, or sending through e-mail.

If you want automated backups, then you should enable scheduling under the Options page. Once the scheduling is enabled, Argentum Backup then monitors the source files and keeps the backup store updated with the source files. It runs in the background with no user interaction. So, once the scheduling is enabled, you always have a backup copy of your data. To add a new task click now on "New".
