Loading and saving backup tasks

  Loading a saved backup task

Load a saved task (.buj file) for editing or execution.

  List of recently-opened tasks

The task menu contains a list of up to 15 of the most recently-opened tasks. Click within the list to load a task.

  Saving an edited task

You should save your backup tasks to disk for future use as a file with the extension .buj. When starting the program for the first time, a task directory is created at "My Documents\PersBackup". You can change this location using the menu item Preferences ⇒ Task directory.
The backup tasks are saved as readable ASCII files, but modifying such a file manually with a text editor is not recommended. Instead, edit the task within the "Personal Backup" program.

Note: provided that a task has not been changed, this button will remain grayed out.

Saving a task with a new filename

An existing or edited task can be saved under a new filename.

Insert a saved task (Import)

The directories of an existing task can be added to the list of directories of the currently-opened task.

Save a selected directory as a new task (Export)

The selected directory in the task list will be saved as new task.

  Creating a shortcut on the desktop

Clicking this button will open a dialog for creating a shortcut on the computer desktop to the currently-opened backup task. You can edit the name for this shortcut, specify the behaviour of the status window and define an action to be performed after backup.
By double-clicking this desktop shortcut, you can start a backup and, for example, put the computer into hibernation afterwards.

  Quit program

  Minimize program

If the Option Automatic backup on logoff or at time of day is selected, the program will remain running in the background and an icon will appear in the Windows notification area.
