The following tells us how to setup your account. You can specify what to protect via folders, file extensions (document types), and macros (predefined assignments). You can also discard certain data. For example, you may want to protect the "My Documents" folder with the exception of all text files and all audio/video files. The combinations are endless, and very powerful.

By default the "My Documents" folder on " C:" is backed up with the exception of the "My *" subfolders (eg. My Pictures, My Music, etc. which are NOT protected and are considered discardable data). If this fits your requirements this form is already filled out for this very purpose. Otherwise create your own backup rules below.

If you need clarification on any topic use the context sensitive help link.

If you are not sure after looking through the following section, please describe what you would like to backup in the comments section at the end of the page. Our support department provide assistance. Make sure your contact information is correct as they will contact you to create your unique backup specifications.

You can customized the backup by making changes to the following items.

Data Aging

Live-Backup continuously tracks each client’s data, versions of some files, such as documents you edit frequently, may build up quickly. This buildup can waste valuable disk space. To help you manage your disk space while also safeguarding your data, older versions are deleted.
