5.4. Performing a Backup
A Backup copies folders from your PC to the Network Storage.
Caution
The Network Storage and SmartSYNC cannot restore a failed
boot drive in your PC. However, you can use the Network
Storage to save your system backup file. See your Windows
documentation for information about system backups.
Note
•
Windows does not allow SmartSYNC to access protected
folders and files. If you want to perform a backup, you must
first disable protection on your folders and files.
•
If you want to run the Windows Backup or Restore Wizard,
access the Network Storage as a network drive.
To perform a backup of a selected folder:
1.
