After downloading the software please install it where you would like. You can then follow these steps to protect your data as soon as possible.
Once installed, please open the software by double clicking the taskbar icon. ->
Next please click on the Options button.
This is where we set your username and password for use with the backup server. Please fill out the Request free trial form for your username and password to be setup.
This is where we tell the software how you connect to the internet. If you use a 56k modem please tick dialup connection and select your connection from the pull down menu.
Please make sure "This connection dials directly to the backup server" is NOT checked.
If you connect to the internet using a local area network that is always on, then leave the dialup connection unchecked.
Please note, the username and password on this tab are what you use to connect to your internet service provider, you will need to contact them if you are not sure.
Next please click "Sets" on the main screen. A backup set is simply a list of files for the backup software to use when backing up.
You can have an unlimited amount of backup sets. For instance you can have one set scheduled to backup once a week that contains your documents. And another set to backup once a day that contains your Myob or Quickbooks database.
This is a very powerful tool as you choose what you want to backup, when you want.
Once you have what backup sets you want you will need to add files to them.

Select what backup set you want from the pull down menu, then simply add files to it by ticking them in the explorer like window.
Now that the software knows what to backup, we can tell it WHEN.
Click Schedules on the main screen, and select "Add".
Name the schedule whatever you like, if you have more than one backup set you can call it something like "weekly schedule".
Next select what backup set(s) you would like to backup when this schedule is ran.
Select daily/weekly/monthly as you require. Set what days and time you would like to backup, and you can even instruct the backup software to shutdown/power off your computer after it is finished backing up.
Tips for finding the right files:

To backup your email inbox/sent items etc you need to find the right files. If you use Microsoft Outlook Express simply do a search on your hard drive for "Inbox.dbx" or "Sent Items.dbx" etc. (include system/hidden files). The search should find them in "C:/Documents and Settings/{username}/Local Settings/Application Data/Identities/{kerberos certificate code}/Microsoft/Outlook Express". This is the location if you use Windows XP or 2000. If you use Windows 98 or ME the location will be under the C:/Windows/Application Data... etc.

If you use Microsoft Outlook you will find the location of your data files by selecting File/Data file management in outlook. The data files have the extension of *.pst and contain all your outlook settings and emails.

Note that the above files can be fairly large. Once backed up, the backup software only backs up the changes made, not the whole file.

Please be sure to store all your original software disks and CDs offsite, so that if needed you can reinstall your software and restore your files from the OzBackup servers.
