When the BounceBack Control Center is displayed, you are offered 3 choices for your first backup: Full System, My Documents and Let Me Choose. Full System will set up a backup set that includes all files and folders on your computer. This setting requires that a backup device be connected to the computer. Backup Device List identifies available hard drives for backup use and allows you to select an available device for the full system backup. Backup Set Schedule allows you to launch a backup operation manually or to schedule backups to be launched. Backup Sizing scans the folders and files on the system drive and determines the total size of the files to be backed up. Note: The size shown will start at 0 and increase incrementally, as the size of each file in the backup set is determined. 10.
