Archive valuable files
Scheduler panel
Schedule your Easy Archive project by selecting one of the options that is displayed when you click on the Scheduling options box.

The Easy Archive project lets you easily copy important files to a hard drive or disc.

Projects can be scheduled to run whenever it's convenient, and large archives are automatically spread across as many discs as you need.

Begin by selecting the drive, drive partition, or folder to archive. Then select the types of files you want to protect: Email, Financial, Music, Photos, Productivity, Video, or My Recorded TV.

You can even create a custom category by using the controls you will find when you click on the Options button and open the Backup panel.

The Help file explains the controls in detail.


Tips

  • Tailor the project to your specific needs by creating a custom file category.
  • The Easy Archive scheduler gives you complete flexibility. Run a project every day, every week, or every few hours.
  • The Easy Archive project can be set to open automatically every time you re-connect an external hard drive to your computer.
  • All of the discs used in an Easy Archive project must be the same general format.
