Contents of Included Backup Sets

Backup sets are files grouped into categories by common data types. The backup set uses a rule to determine what file types to look for and what directories to look in for the files. Typically, {{{prodct_name}}} searches on your computer's Desktop or in subdirectories under C:\Documents and Settings for files in the backup sets.

Below are listed some of the common pre-configured backup sets included in {{{prodct_name}}} version 2.0 or later for Windows. Depending on your installation and the files found on your system, you might see fewer sets or additional sets not listed.

You can view and modify the rules for the backup sets by double-clicking the backup set. You can also create new backup sets. See Understanding Backup Sets for more information.
