In the first dialog you are supposed to select what kind of backup you want to perform. If you choose Full Backup, the program will back up all possible data, such as PIM data, Emails, My Documents and System data (other files, programs and their settings). Otherwise, choose Custom Backup to select manually what particular data you want to backup.

At this step you are proposed to select what particular item categories you want to include into the backup copy. To select a category, select the check box in front of it. For some categories you can also customize their contents by selecting them and tapping on the Options button.

In this dialog specify the backup file name and location. If you select the Custom location, you will be able to select any folder on your device. To continue, tap Next.

Provide the password and confirm it if you wish to encrypt your data using the AES algorithm (Rijndael). This password will be asked for further backup copy restoration.

If you choose to compress your data, Spb Backup will use ZIP archiving to reduce the backup file size (it will be approximately half as small compared to the uncompressed one). The file size is dependant on the real device storage space used.

Spb Backup allows you to schedule the automatic backup copy creating. If you wish to create automatic copies, customize the schedule as it is shown on the screenshot.

On the final screen make sure all the specified preferences are correct and tap Next to start the process or Back to return to customizing the backup preferences. On this screen you are also shown the estimated backup file size and the available storage space.

You can constantly have information about the last backup on your Today screen using the Spb Backup Today plug-in. You can also quickly open the program by tapping on this plug-in. On the plug-in you can see the time of the last backup and the next one, if it is scheduled.

Spb Backup plug-in is compatible with Spb Pocket Plus and can take one tab of it. This saves the screen space and follows the general line of compatibility of all Spb products.
