Configure the backup source

This step selects the registered Windows host in the Backup Wizard and adds C:\HFL-Quickstart to the backup scope. Do not select the entire system drive.

Open Backup Setup

1. In the Backup Sources table, select the registered Windows host.
2. Select Next to move to Backup Configuration.
3. Select the Windows host again, then select Backup Setup.

Select the directory to back up

1. In Sources, expand the Windows backup source.
2. Under Browse Files and Folders, find and select C:\HFL-Quickstart.
3. Select Add Selected.
4. Confirm that C:\HFL-Quickstart appears under Selected Paths.
5. Select Next.

Choose backup policy and file filter settings

This test must back up everything in C:\HFL-Quickstart. Leave Backup Policy and File Filter unassigned, keep the current compression setting, and select Next.

For recurring backups, use Backup Policy to select or create a policy. To exclude content from snapshots, use Filter Rule to select or create a file filter. Policies and filters affect subsequent backups, so leave them unassigned during this first-use test.

Completion criteria

• The correct Windows host is selected.
• The backup scope contains only the prepared test directory.
• C:\HFL-Quickstart appears under Selected Paths.
• No filter rule excludes either test file.

If no repository is available on the Target step, continue without leaving the configuration flow: Add target storage.
