It is advisable to make backup copies on another hard disk (if your computer has more than one hard disk), or on an external USB device. This way, you have the guarantee that your documents are protected in the event of accidents.
Nevertheless, if you do not have another hard disk, you can store the copies on the directory you want.
Follow these steps in order to specify the location where you want to store your backup copies:
Click Backup in the main window of the program.
Click Local backup.
On the left-hand side of the window, make sure the Backup copy option is selected.
In Expiry and location, click Browse and select the location where you want to store your backup copies. It is advisable to save the backup copies on a separate hard disk from the one that contains the data.
Click OK.
Backup copies are kept on the hard disk for a number of days after which the program will delete files to free up space on the hard disk. It is advisable to save the copies to a CD or DVD before they expire.
You can specify the period you want, although it is not advisable for it to be longer than 30 days.
Follow the steps below:
Click Backup in the main window of the program.
Click Local backup.
On the left-hand side of the window, make sure the Backup copy option is selected.
In Expiry and location, specify the maximum number of days before backup copies are deleted.
