Continue below if you want to create a new backup.
- Select No, I want to create a new backup and press next

- Select the files / folders you want to backup. In the example we have selected Documents, which means that all subfolders are also highlighted.
- Press Start Backup. The computer will now work for a while depending on how many files are uploaded in the backup.
- After a while, the program will say Upload Complete! This means that all files have been uploaded and that everything is working properly. The program will now automatically upload files that change under the folders you previously selected.
