In the Main Selection -> Tasks -> By Clients, select the location of your client and then the client which you want to back up. Right-click it and select New backup task.

In the New backup task window, specify the following:

  • Enter the Task name. Give your task a meaningful descriptive name that clearly identifies it.
  • From the Task type drop-down list, select the appropriate type, default is Path.
  • Specify the Source. If you want to back up individual files, you can either browse for directories and files that you want to include in the backup or enter their names followed by a comma (C:/Program Files/SEPsesam/var/db,C:\Users\AA\Documents\references). If you want to back up the complete file system, specify all as a backup source. Typically, by selecting the source the task type and task name are set automatically. A few special task types are rare exceptions and thus require a manual selection of the relevant type and specifying the task name.
  • Optionally, you can specify the filenames or patterns which you do not want to back up in the Exclude list. For details on different exclude options, see Creating Exclude List. If you want to add a comment, enter it in the Notes field.
  • If you want to define additional options, such as the pre/post backup and restore commands, set encryption or compress data, add a task to the task group, or assign a task to the schedule, click the corresponding tabs in the New backup task window.
