Creating a backup

Creating a backup is pretty simple, To start off click the Create Backup Button   
Then you are going to want to choose a backup name (Good practice to include the date in the backup name)

If you would like to lock the backup (prevent accidental deletion) check the "LOCKED" switch at the bottom of the window
