Quick start guide to AnyBackup

Introduction

This is a short, concise and picture-rich guide to getting AnyBackup up and running.

Basic Setup

1. Add a "backup" drive -- this is a drive that content will be backed up to

Click Add -> Add Backup Drive

Select the appropriate drive letter(s)

You can choose to index the drive(s) at the time of addition, normally this is a good thing to do. Indexing means that AnyBackup scans the drive(s) and finds all files and folders.

2. Add a "content" drive -- this is a drive that you'll be backing up from

Click Add -> Add Content Drive

Select the appropriate drive letter, you can also, optionally, double click on a drive and select one or more directories for a drive to add if you don't want to backup everything on a drive

3. Preview what AnyBackup wants to backup

Click Edit -> Preview New Files, this will display all the files that AnyBackup wants to backup from your newly added content drive to your newly added backup drive. If all looks well you can click Backup.
