# How do I open Data Backup?

Open the menu bar popover and choose **More (•••) → Windows → Data Backup**. You can also click the **Data Backup** card on the Home screen, which opens the same window.

The window lists every backup set as a card. Each card shows its folders, its destination, when it runs, the last backup time and buttons for **Versions…**, **Check** and **Back up now**.

If you've never set anything up, you'll still see one card — the built-in set for your fast drive's Storage Studio folder — waiting for a destination. See [the built-in fast drive set](https://storagestudio.us/faq/backups/what-is-the-fast-drive-working-set).
