Choose Full Backup or Incremental

Choose Full Backup or Incremental
Next you must choose between a Full Backup or an Incremental Backup. If this is the first time you've backed up, or you just want to start with a clean slate, choose the Full Backup option.

For future backups, you can save time by doing an incremental backup. However, if you ever lose or misplace your backup media, you can start with a new Full Backup any time.

If you are backing up to a network or removable drive, make sure it is connected and available before moving on to the next step. If you are using CD or DVD media, insert a blank disk into the CD or DVD burner.

In the next step, you are asked for the destination. When you choose a drive letter, Elements will estimate the size of the backup, and the time required, and show it to you at the bottom of the backup dialog.
