2.3) HOW THE PROCESS WILL RUN
3.) SAVE/DELETE THE CONFIGURATIONS



1.) GENERAL INFORMATION
	SimpleBackup ( now in version 1.0.0.1 ) is a open source backup tool for full and differencial backups. It's so simple that it doesn't 
	even has a complicated encryption or CPU-blowing compression, it just makes a identical copy of a folder.
	
2.) HOW TO BACKUP
2.1) CHOOSING THE PATHS
	The first step is to choose two directories, the source and the destination. It doesn't matter if a "\" is in the end or not, SimpleBackup will add it.
	Browse through your files with a dialog or just tipe in the path ( SimpleBackup will notice it ).
	
2.2) CONFIGURE SIMPLEBACKUP
	There are a few options you can take:
		- "Overwrite files, if never" : When a file in the backup/destination folder is older than the original/source file, the original/source file will be copied.
		- "Copy everything"           : Copies every file ( takes longer of course ; can't be taken with "Overwrite files, if never" )
		- "Delete old files"          : If the backup folder contains files, which doesn't exist in the original/source folder, they'll be deleted.
		- "Shutdown after finish"     : Shuts the system down after finishing the backup process.
		
2.3) HOW THE PROCESS WILL RUN
	These are the steps that are done by SimpleBackup:
		- Detecting files ( counts all files and their size )
		- Copying files
			If "Overwrite files, of never" is selected he might skip some files ( if they are the same )
		That was the backup
		
		If "Delete old files" is selected he's also doing the following steps:
		- Detecting files in the destination folder
		- Checking if a file doesn't exist in the source folder
		- Deleting those files
		That was the cleaning process
		
3.) SAVE/DELETE THE CONFIGURATIONS
	If you want so save the whole settings, just click on "save" ( located over the listbox ). If you want to delete it, just select the entry and click on "delete".
