How do I know what files are being backed up?

The Agent has default rules that it uses to automatically select files to back up. It is your responsibility to verify that the files that matter most to you are included in the set of files selected for backup.

To verify which files are backed up, select the Backup Set tab in the BackUp Solutions PC or Mac Agent. This view lists a mirror image of the file structure on your computer. You can browse the files and folders to see whether a folder or file is selected for backup. A green check in the box next to a folder or file indicates that the BackUp Solutions for PC or Mac software will back up the file. If the box next to a file or folder is empty, the file or folder is not backed up.

You should periodically check selections in the Backup Set tab to ensure that new files that you create are also being backed up.
