Step 2

Choose the type of data you want to back up by ticking one or more of the boxes on the right, from the What tab.

Note that when you choose DocumentsPhotosMusicVideos or Desktop, BullGuard will look for files in the default locations of your operating system. If you have stored files in other locations that you want to back up, choose the Other files or folders option and manually add them by clicking on the Edit button next to the option.

Edit: allows you to see what files and folders are included in the backup profile, as well as remove or add new ones.

bk14

Add: opens a new window allowing you to choose files or folders you want to include in the backup profile.

bk8

Select filters: allows you to define specific filters so BullGuard will only backup the type of files or folders you need to, saving you time and space.

Step 3

In this step, you will need to choose the location you want to backup the files to from the Where tab. The backup can be stored on Dropbox, One Drive or Google Drive, on a CD/DVD, on the local computer (usually using an external hard disk) or on a network location.

Backing up files with Dropbox, One Drive or Google Drive requires having an account associated with them. If you do not have one, you can create it through the BullGuard Backup interface.

You can now backup files to your Dropbox account using BullGuard.

Step 4

All Backup profiles can be scheduled to either be started manually when it is convenient for you or to backup important documents on a regular basis preventing information loss. This can be done from the When tab.

Never, I’ll start it myself – you will need to run this profile manually to backup the information.

I want to select a schedule – you can set the profile to run automatically at set time intervals. This will ensure that any information included in the profile will be backed up on a regular basis.

Step 5

The Advanced Backup settings (the How tab) allow you to further customize your profile by adding special features such as encryption, versioning and backup compression. You can read more about the available options here.

The profile will now appear in the profile list accessible from the main Backup sectionManage Profiles.
