Select data to backup
To use BackUp Maker, you have to first click on BackUp Maker's system tray icon, which will open a wizard. Here select the files and folder that you want to backup and click next. In the next window, select Filter option, where you can define the files or folder that you want to exclude in the backup process and click next. After this, you can define the schedule for your backup process by assigning it time and date for backup and click Next.

Select backup type
Now select the type of backup you want to create, like full backup or partial backup and execute the file that you want to backup. For security, you can protect the backup using a password. This backup utility gives you an option to split the backup for spanning on to two or more drives. By default, when you upload your backups to an FTP server, port 21 is used. If this port is blocked by your Firewall or if you wish to use another port, please enter the number for that port in the FTP port field.

BackUp Maker gives you a range of backup options such as full or partial backups, backup scheduling and much more

After the backup is complete, BackUp Maker normally shows a report, containing information on the backup. In the end it also tells you about any errors that were encountered in the backup process. You can restore all your saved data using well-known Zip tools (e.g. WinZip, WinACE) or using BackUp Maker's restore wizard.
