Backup Button
The Backup button is enabled only for Missing and Changed files in the Compare List and
works in the following manner:
•
Missing—This will back up files to the external HDD which exist on the source drive but
are not currently on the external HDD.
•
Changed—This will back up the version of each file selected as it exists on the external
HDD to the source drive. This operation will overwrite the current copy of each file that
exists on the source, even if the file is newer.
•
Deleted—This will restore all the deleted files you select for restore back to the source
drive. This is a good way to recover files you mistakenly deleted from your source drive
but still exist on the external HDD.
