Add File Collection Definition Dialog

Use the Add File Collection Definition dialog to specify the properties of the file you want to backup.

This dialog contains the following fields:

File Name

Defines the name of the configuration file you want to backup. Enter the complete path for the file. You can also enter a relative path beginning with an environment variable, for example, %SYSTEMROOT%\path.

Note: The platform default variables differ depending on the OS version running. For example, the path to the Windows directory in XP is given in the %SYSTEMROOT% and the %WINDIR% variable. Make sure the selected configuration file is accessible.

File Group

Specifies an existing file group or lets you enter a new file group name for the configuration file.

Backup revisions

Defines the number of backup revisions you need for the current configuration file. By default, all the predefined configuration files have three revisions. You can modify the configuration to collect more revisions.

Open With

Defines the executable file name of the editor that you want to use for editing the files instead of the default editor.

Example: NOTEPAD.EXE. This opens the configuration file in the Notepad.
