4) Manually select which files you want
to backup.
BackUpStream's “Software Library”
is loaded with hundreds of automatic routines
for backing up today's popular software
applications. Check with BackUpStream often
as we are continually added new automatic
software backup routines. If you have an
application not listed in our Software Library,
contact us and we will do our best to add
it.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When using “Automatic Backup Routines”
you must store your user files in the default
folder chosen by your software application
at the time of installation. If you elected
to store your files in a different folder,
you will need to create a “User-Defined
Job”.

Online or CD Start
This decision is very important.
Large Jobs take a long time to backup Online.
The CD Start function eliminates this initial
transfer by Burning your Job to CD. Your data
is encrypted and can only be loaded on the
machine of the Partner you intend. No one
can ever see your data. Once your Partner
has loaded your CD Start disc subsequent online
backups take just seconds. If your Job(s)
is not excessive in size normal online backup
is very convenient. Typical broadband rates
allow 70MB to transfer each hour. There is
no harm in transferring all day or night.
BackUpStream operates in the background and
all normal computer activities can be used.
Please note an estimate of your initial Online
backup time is displayed. Use this estimate
to make your initial backup decision.
