== Usage ==To create a new backup, we need to create a new backup task that will allow us to configure what files are being backed up and various configuration settings.  Choose + to create a new task.  Give it a name. Click on the Archive option in the left hand menu of the New Task dialog as shown in the image below.  Choose 7zip and compress files individually.  === Incremental ===The backup software creates copies of all the files, or parts of files that have changed since previous backups of any type (full, differential or incremental).An incremental backup includes only those things that have changed since the last backup, and saves those things into a separate, additional, backup file or location.All the incremental backups must be available to perform the restore. For example if you did a full backup on Sunday. An incremental backup made on Monday, would only contain files changed since Sunday, and an incremental backup on Tuesday, would only contain files changed since Monday, and so on.Restoring from incremental backups is the slowest because it may require several sets of data to fully restore all the data. For example if you had a full backup and six incremental backups. To restore the data would require you to process the full backup and all six incremental backups.This is the feature you will most likely be using after creating your first backup instance. It checks if the source has changed from the last backup and only will backup those files that are new or have changed since the last backup. This saves a lot of time and space on your PC or the medium you will store your backup upon.The backup software looks at which files have changed since you last did a full backup. Then creates copies of all the files that are different from the ones in the full backup.The backup software looks at which files have changed since you last did a full backup. Then creates copies of all the files that are different from the ones in the full backup.  Rather than backing up only the changes from the previous backup, each differential backup includes all the changes from the baseline full backup. So day 2’s backup would include changes from day 1 to day 2. Day 3’s backup would include changes from day 1 to day 3.=== Incremental ===The backup software creates copies of all the files, or parts of files that have changed since previous backups of any type (full, differential or incremental).For example if you did a full backup on Sunday.
