4. (optional) If you do not want to use the default location to store your backup, click
the Location button in the upper-left corner and specify a new location.
5. (optional) If you do not want to use the default Backup Name, enter a new name.
The default name uses the cabinet, drawer, or folder name and the current date. If
more than one backup of the same selection is done on the same day, the system
incorporates a sequential identifier by default.
6. Click Start to begin the backup process.
NOTE
To back up the entire Archive Cabinet, select Entire DDM in the
Backup dialog box before clicking Start.
Because a backup may take several minutes, you can minimize the dialog box and
continue working. You will be notified when the process is complete, at which point
you should click Close to return to the Archive Cabinet.
TIP
Use the Copy function or the Backup tool to back up and restore files
from one computer to another or to store data off-site as part of a disaster
recovery plan.

As shown in Figure 13-9, the Backup dialog box provides Estimated Backup Size
and Free Space information for the selected location. If there is not enough free space,
you will be prompted to select another location. The Free Space information is not
available if backing up to a CD/DVD drive, so you need to determine the amount of
free space by manually checking the available space on the disk.
To restore backed-up contents to the Archive Cabinet:
1. Click the Backup button on the Archive Cabinet toolbar. The Backup dialog
box is displayed. (See Figure 13-9)
2. Click the Restore tab.
3. If necessary, click the Location button to browse to the location of the files you
want to restore.
4. From the Select a Backup to Restore drop list, click a file to restore.
