On startup of the client, a setup wizard pop-up will appear. This wizard allows you to connect your account to the server.

select the day and the time you wish for this to run. Then choose your connection type usually the default will suffice for most users, and choose whether to minimize time and
disk usage, or speed.

include folder.

supplier based on your backup package.

read through it at your will, there’s lots of handy information here. Now our backup is complete.
