This tutorial explains how to set up automatic, regular backup schedules of specific files and folders. The guide covers the following topics:
The threat of lost or corrupted files is ever-present, whether from virus attacks or accidental deletion. This makes keeping data safe a top priority in our digital lives. It is a good habit to back up important data, as it reduces the damage caused by data loss. Whether the loss is economic or otherwise, prevention is always the best choice.
To back up your important files, you have two options: backing up the entire drive where your important files are stored or only selected files. For the first option, use the Disk/Partition Backup feature. For the second, use the File Backup feature. This guide shows you how to use File Backup to protect specific files and folders.
If you often update important files that are already backed up, remember to create a new backup afterward. However, it's easy to forget this crucial step, which puts your data at risk. Setting up an automatic backup schedule for the files/folders can effectively solve the problem.
To automate data backup, most backup software on the market provides a "backup schedule" feature that runs tasks periodically based on your preset configurations.
