What is a backup set?
Short answer: A backup set is one card in Data Backup: the folders and files you chose, one destination, and its own schedule, versions and status. You can keep several sets with different rules.
A backup set is one card in Data Backup: a group of folders and files, one destination, and the rules for when it runs. Each set keeps its own versions, its own status and — for cloud destinations — its own passphrase.
You can have several sets. A common pattern is one set for everyday documents that backs up as things change, and another for a large photo or project archive that runs on a schedule. Because each set has its own rules, a busy folder never holds up a quiet one.
To make one, click New backup set in the Data Backup window. To remove one, use the remove button on its card — see removing a backup set.
