The difference between Backup and Sync
Backup
A Backup operation copies files from one storage device into an
image file, which is then stored on another device. To access the
files in the image file, you need to run a Restore operation to extract
the files from the image file and restore them to their original
format. The image below illustrates this process.
(Sample Image) The Backup and Restore process
The files stored in the image file are referred to as a "backup set."
You can password-protect or encrypt a backup set.
Preferences
Manage software preferences, including:
Startup preferences: Set the Backup software to
launch automatically each time the drive is
mounted, or disable this feature.
Backup preferences: Specify whether files in the
Recycle Bin and Windows
®
Temporary Folder
should be included in a full system backup.
Date Format preferences: Select the date format
(day/month/year or month/day/year) you want to
use in the Backup software.
File Filtering preferences: Specify the file types
(for example, .jpg and .bmp) to be included in
each file type category (for example, Picture
Files). When you backup or sync files in a given
category, the software will backup or sync only
those files that have been assigned to the chosen
category.
