The configuration of a backup set is done in the "Backup" tab.
Select in the left panel (that displays the backup pool) the backup set you want to configure.
Four tabs give you additional information and enable you to configure the backup set:
Summary
Backup Settings
Files Management
Logs
The summary tab displays the agent's license for which the backup set wil be configured as well as the number of items and volumes backed up. This tab is only for information.
It is in the backup setings that the configuration is done.
Backup Scheduler: allows scheduling the launch and frequency of backups at a certain time or/and day of the week or month.
Versions Keeping: allows to indicate the number of versions to keep (e.g., if the last three versions are kept, in case of backup of a new version, the oldest version will be overwritten to be replaced by the last backup).
Retention Management: the retention is the period of time during which information is kept, it can be configured in number of days and its use can be customized.
Backup type: the backup can be done on the workstation (locally) or locally and outsourced.
It is from this tab that you launch the backup by clicking on START BACKUP.

Filters configuration allows to exclude or include file categories, folders and directories of the backup.
