- Click on “Browse” and browse to a location and enter a Destination file name
- Uncheck “No Password”

- Click on “Backup” button
- Accept the warning if you want to use a non-default backup password.
- Once the backup finishes, you have an option to save the log file for reference. The log file is not necessary to restore the backup.
