To run a backup, click on the Run Backup Icon on the Navigation Panel.  

 

 

In this screen you can:

a) Run Backup: by pressing this button you will run your backup.

b) Cancel Backup: you may cancel backup by pressing this button.

c) Pause Backup: this button pauses your backup.

 

While a backup is running or paused, you are able to see the present status which indicates percentage completion.  Once a job is complete the Backup Status marks 100% complete and the backup log summarizes whether there have been any errors (also indicates error codes for troubleshooting) or whether the job has been successful.  

 

It is advisable that you close all your programs before running a backup so that WinBackup can pick up the latest data for backup.
