To define a drive-based backup

In the Run or Manage Backups window, click Define New.
If you have not yet defined a backup, the Easy Setup dialog appears instead.
3 Click Back up my computer, and then click Next.
4 Select one or more drives to back up, and then click Next.
Press and hold Ctrl to select multiple drives.
If you do not see a drive that you expected to see, select Show Hidden Drives.

If the Related Drives dialog box is displayed, set the appropriate option, and
then click Next. Otherwise, skip to the next step.

You cannot use an encrypted folder as your backup destination. You can
choose to encrypt your backup data to prevent another user from accessing
it.

remote location for added backup protection, do the following:
Click Add and then select Enable Offsite Copy.
Select the Prompt me to start a copy when I attach an external Offsite
Copy destination drive option if you want recovery points automatically
copied to external Offsite Copy destination drives whenever you plug one
in to your computer.
Click Browse to locate an Offsite Copy destination.
Click Add an additional Offsite Copy destination if you want to add a
second destination, and then specify the path (a local folder, network path,
or FTP address) to that destination.
Click OK.
