Can I have more than one backup set?
Short answer: Yes. Click New backup set as often as you like. Each set has its own folders, destination, schedule and versions, so you can back up documents continuously and a big archive overnight.
Yes. Click New backup set in the Data Backup window as many times as you need. Each set has its own folders, destination, schedule and versions, so you can treat different kinds of data differently.
Some ways people use more than one set: - Documents backing up as things change to an external SSD. - A large archive backing up on a schedule, overnight and only when plugged in. - The same important folder in two sets with two destinations — one drive and one cloud account — so a single failure can't take both copies.
Sets never mix their versions, even when they share a destination.
