items.

6. Go to your USB storage drive (“MyUSBDrive” in the example below, which represents the backup HDD in the drive enclosure), and check the “MyBackup” files. A small utility program called PLBackup is also added into the “MyBackup” folder so you can execute it if the external drive is connected to another PC that doesn’t have the Prolific Backup software installed.

7. Inside the subfolder “PL2X7X Backup” you will find the selected folders that were copied with a date-time prefix added on the folder name. You will also see an associated “.pbi” file that is used to identify the backup folders in order to restore those folders.

9. When backup is complete, the compressed backup files will be stored in the “PL2X7X Backup” subfolder. Note that each selected folder is compressed separately with a date-time folder name prefix used as a filename. Note also the associated .pbi file that you need in order to restore these files. 10.

11. When you click Backup, you’ll be prompted to enter the filename to be used for the compressed backed-up files and the folder directory to store the files.

13. The “Backup modified files only” option lets you save time by just backing up those files on the folders that were modified from your previous backup. For a first-time backup, a full backup of the selected folders in a special backup folder is needed in order to compare the files (see Step 14).

14. Notice that a new subfolder — “PL2X7X OnlyBackupModify” — was created, which is where the backed-up files are stored. The next time you do a backup, the program will compare the files and only back up the files that are modified. 15.

16. The next time you back up your files, the folder where the files are stored will just be updated with those files that were modified. Note that a new .pbi file will be created each time you do a backup. Always use the latest .pbi file to restore the files.

5. When you select one of the backed- up files (.pbi file) in the backup file list, the actual backup folders will appear in the “source file” window to let you know which folders you can restore.

7. Once your preferences have been set, click Restore to begin restoring the backed-up files. The files will be shown being restored to your desired restore directory. 8.
