Destination files - Backup

In the Destination files window you need to define a path where backup files will be stored. It can be file system, for example drive D: on your computer, or FTP server. If you have chosen file system as a location, you need to define a full path where backup files will be stored by clicking Browse button. If you have chosen FTP server as a location, you need to define your FTP server's host, user name, user password, port (by default: 21) and remote path where backup files will be stored. Also you need to choose Type of backup files, it can be a single ZIP archive or a folder where backup files will be stored with the same folder structure as source folder's structure.

Use Make clean copy option for creating exact copies of source files. For example, we have the following source files:
Test1.doc
Test2.doc
Test3.doc

When we make backup operation, files above will be placed into destination path (in backup archive or folder). After some time, for example we removed Test2.doc and created new Test4.doc. Source files are the following now:
Test1.doc
Test3.doc
Test4.doc

So, if we make backup operation with Make clean copy ON, we have the following files in destination:
Test1.doc
Test3.doc
Test4.doc

But if we make backup with Make clean copy OFF, destination files will be:
Test1.doc
Test2.doc
Test3.doc
Test4.doc
I.e. new files will be appended to old destination files.
