The Backup Wizard
Users can create backup jobs in Genie Backup Manager using one of two different wizard layouts:
Easy mode: A 3-step simple wizard. Advanced backup settings are set to default.
Normal Mode: A 5-step wizard that gives users more control over the backup job and its settings.
Changing the Backup Wizard Layout
To switch from one backup wizard layout to another:
From the main screen, click the Switch to Easy Mode or Switch to Normal Mode button in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Opening the Backup Wizard
From the startup screen click the Backup button.
From the Files menu, select Backup Wizard.
For each backup job you must specify at least the source files, folders, or other data items that you want to backup (third wizard step), the rest of the options are not mandatory as they are set to default values, but can be changed by the user.
The user can move between the wizard screens using one of the following ways:
Clicking the Next button in the lower right corner, to go through all the wizard screens one at a time. Clicking the Previous button takes the user one step back.
By choosing the desired wizard screen from the Backup Steps menu on the left side of the screen. This allows the user to skip steps that have been set before.
