 Note

• To start Backup, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup.
• Choosing Back up data that is in Remote Storage backs up data that has been designated for Remote Storage If you select this option, Remote Storage placeholder files are backed up. If you do not select this option, Remote Storage placeholder files are not backed up. You can restore Remote Storage data only to an NTFS volume that is used in Windows 2000.
• Choosing Verify data after backup verifies that the backed-up data is exactly the same as the original data. This could substantially increase the time it takes to perform a backup.
• Choosing If possible, compress the backup data to save space compresses the data you are backing up so you can save more data on a tape. Usually, only tape drives have the ability to compress data. If this option is disabled, you do not have a tape drive on your computer or your tape drive cannot compress data.
• Choosing Automatically back up system protected files with the System State backs up all of the system files that are in your systemroot directory in addition to the boot files that are included with the System State data. This option will substantially increase the size of your backup job. For example, if you choose this option on Windows 2000 Professional, it will add over 200 megabytes to the size of your backup job.
• Choosing a backup type in Backup Type determines how your data is backed up. Backup types include: copy, daily, differential, incremental, and normal
