1. Click Start, select Programs or All Programs, choose Iomega Backup and then click The Works.
   
   
2. Click File and then choose Options.
   
   
3. Click the Backup tab.



4. Select the options for your backup job, a description of the options follows:
   
   
   • Perform file-by-file auto-compare after the backup: Compares each backed up file with the original copy on the hard drive. Select this option to insure there are no errors in the backup files.
     
     
   • Catalog backup in Librarian: A copy of the disk catalog is placed in the Librarian. The Restore function uses the Librarian to help you find files, even if you don't know which tape/disk contains the file. Iomega recommends you use this feature. (This option is selected by default.)
     
     
   • Backup a copy of the Librarian catalog to the cartridge: A copy of the Librarian catalog is placed on the backup tape in case anything happens to the Librarian on your hard drive.
     
     
   • Backup system registry: This will back up the system registry options. (This option is selected by default.)
   
   
   
   • Compression:
     
     
     • None: Fastest backup time, but will use more tape/disk space.
       
     • Optimized: Will optimize the amount of space used and the time it takes to complete the backup file.
       
     • High: Uses less tape/disk space, but requires more time to complete. (This option is selected by default.)
       
       
   • If backups already exist on the disk:
   
   
   
   • Always append the current backup to the tape/disk: Select this option and the backup will always be added to the end of the last backup.
     
     
   • Always overwrite the existing backups: Select this option and the backup will always overwrite anything on the tape/disk with the current backup.
     
     
   • Prompt me to choose between appending and overwriting: Select this option and a prompt box will appear when you begin a backup, giving you the choice between appending and overwriting.
