Skip system files: The program will ignore system files.
Skip hidden files: The program will ignore hidden files.
Skip read only files: The program will ignore read only files or folders.
Open files exclusively: Files or folders in a selected Item can be opened only with Handy Backup 3.0. Otherwise, the files can be in use by other programs.
Delete all files from destination except backed up: Enables to delete all files in a destination folder except backed up ones.
Note: Please be careful with this option! Before checking it, make sure that your destination folder does not contain files you do not want to be deleted! For example, if you choose disk C:\ as your destination location, you may accidentally lost ALL data kept on this disk.
Store backups with timestamps: Check this option if you want the program to store every backup copy of your Item separately, according to date/time of backup operation. After every backup, in a destination folder the program will create a separate subfolder with a timestamp (for example, upon backup operation performed on January 18, 2002, subfolder named -2002_01_18- will be created in a destination folder).
Timestamp accuracy: Enables to set timestamps accuracy - it can be within a month, a day, an hour and even a minute. For example, upon backing up your data at 14.46 on January 18, 2002, the program will create subfolder named -2002_01_21--14_46-.
