Kaspersky PURE 2.0

Applies to Kaspersky PURE 2.0

Backup tasks are used for creating backup copies of files. A backup task may be created using the wizard.

When creating a backup task, the following settings should be defined:

• a set of files for which backup copies will be created;
• a storage in which they will be created;
• conditions of backup process startup.

If you want to create a backup storage on a hard drive My Book (Western Digital), it is required to format the disk My Book to the NTFS file system.

In order to create a backup task, perform the following steps:

Step 1. Open the main program window.

Step 2. Click the Backup and Restore button.

Step 3. In the Backup and Restore window on the Backup tab click the Create a backup task button.

The backup task creation wizard will be started.

Step 4. In the Create backup task window on the Task type tab select for what files a backup task should be created.

You can select one of the following categories of files:

• My Document s and Desktop — all files from My Documents folder and from desktop will be backed up.
• Movies and Video —video files will be backed up.
• Pictures and Photos — all image files will be backed up.
• Music — all music files will be backs up.
• Custom files — you can select manually what files to back up.

You can view the list of files in all categories except Custom files. To view files selected for backup copying, click the link with the number of files in the selected category.

To proceed with the task creation, click Next.

Step 5. If on step 4 you selected the category Custom files, then on the Content tab you can create the list of files for backup copying. If you selected a different category, go to step 6.

In the Location of files section in the left part of the window add the necessary folders:

1. Click the Add folder button.

2. In the Select folder window select the necessary folder.

3. Click the OK button. The selected folder will appear in the Location of files section.

To select specific files that should be backed up, click the name of the folder in the Location of files section. In the View selected files window select the required files by checking them. Click OK.

Click Next to continue.

Step 6. On the Storage tab select the required storage where backup copies will be located.

By default Kaspersky PURE 2.0 creates a storage in drive C. You can use a default storage, connect or create a new storage (for this click the Create button and follow the steps of the wizard).

Click Next to continue.

Step 7. On the Schedule tab, specify the required schedule:

• if you wish to run backup tasks according to a schedule, check the box Run task by schedule and specify the required schedule;
• if you wish to rerun tasks that were missed at the scheduled time (for example, due to restart or OS failure), check the box Run skipped tasks .

Click Next to continue.

Step 8. On the Summary tab enter the task name and confirm the task creation by clicking the Finish button.

To run the task immediately when the wizard is closed, check the box Run task when the wizard is complete.

Step 9. Close the Backup and Restore window by clicking the Close button. Close the main program window.
