To back up My Documents files offsite,
- To back up data files only, simply select the files or folders to back up using the Backup view. If your files are
deleted or damaged, simply select the files or folders to restore using the Restore tab in the Remote Data Backups software.
- If My Documents has its own backup and recovery software utility and you are not using
Easy System Restore, we recommend you back up My Documents to the hard drive
using My Documents's built-in backup software and then back up the My Documents backup using Remote Data Backups. To
restore the data, reverse this process.
- To assure all program settings are backed up, we recommend that you back up the entire Windows system using the
10 MB or 30 MB online backup solution. If your files are deleted or damaged, simply
restore the Windows system using the Windows Easy System Restore tab in
the Remote Data Backups software.
