Getting Started & User Guide.
Introduction
This guide is designed to get you going with AISBackup, and introduce some functionality that may not be obvious at first sight.
After the initial set-up options the guide gives a step by step creation of a backup job, which backs up to your hard drive. Backing up to CD is just as easy as long as you are familiar with the Packet Writing interface of your CD writer. See FAQ page for more information about the Packet Writing interface.
This guide is split over many linked pages, this is to give the illusion that the pages are loading quite quickly on your internet browser. The guide contains many pictures.
You may also navigate this user guide by clicking the buttons on the images.
