Backup 3.0 Help
Setting up a backup plan
You can use an existing backup plan template and modify it however you like, or you can create a custom backup plan.
- In the Backup window, choose Plan > New Plan or click the Add (+) button at the bottom of the window.
- Select one of the plan templates, or select Custom to create your own backup plan.
- Click the Choose Plan button.
- If there are items in an existing template that you don't want to include, select them and click the Remove (-) button.
- Click the Add (+) button below the Backup Items list.
- In the QuickPicks pane, select the items you want to include.
- In the Files & Folders pane, select a file or folder you want to include and select "Include this file/folder." You can omit a file or folder from the backup by selecting "Do not include this file/folder."
If you are using Mac OS X version 10.4 or later, you can use the Spotlight pane to search for specific items.
- Click Done.
- To choose a destination and schedule for your backup plan, click the Add (+) button below the Destination and Schedule list.
- To rename your plan, choose Plan > Rename Plan (or double-click the plan name) and type a name for your plan.
Note: If you add an alias to a backup plan, the item the alias points to is not backed up.
