Creating with Wizards

Backup wizards help you create backup jobs that fit the most common backup situations. These wizards
walk you through the process of setting up a job including selecting backup mode, backup devices, files
to include in the job, scheduling information and media rotation. When you have finished, the backup
job will have been created and is ready to run.
Some backup devices do not support all of these tasks. If your backup device does not support a task,
the wizard will not be available. If a wizard you want to use is not available, review the manufacturer's
documentation for your backup device to see if you can perform the tasks manually.
