In the configuration the task is important to distinguish whether the task is for Backup (default) or Synchronization. Screenshot 2.

Backup - you can back up several folders in one task. The destination for backup can be an external USB hard drive or shared folder on NAS.

Synchronization- In this mode only a single folder (the source) is recursively synchronized with the folder in the destination. For example, mostly Home-NAS have DLNA server to display videos and photos on a TV. You can synchronize the folder with videos on your notebook with the folder for videos on the Home-NAS.

You can exclude unwanted data in the fields Excluded directories, Excluded files E.g. Thumbs.db. With * you can define search patterns. E.g. Thumbs.* Several search patterns are separated with "|" (so-called pipe symbol). Screenshot 2 shows an example task for backing up data to an external hard drive D.

The Username and Password is used when storing the data on a network share. The password in the configuration is encrypted. Only the author (user) can see authentication data and run the task with it. An ID is automatically assigned when the task is saved. Screenshot 2 point 2.
