Summary

This guide shows different types of backups supported by Rebit Endpoint Backup. You will learn to configure backups in different ways with this guide.

Rebit Endpoint Backup allows you to configure two types of backup:

Full system backup
File/folder backup

Let’s take a closer look to know what these backups mean and how Rebit Endpoint Backup helps you configure them.

Full System Backup

Using the Rebit Endpoint Backup app, you can back up an entire drive on your PC. It can be a system drive or any other hard drive on your Windows computer. Follow the steps below to get your full system backup ready.

Step 1. Open File Explorer on your computer.

Step 2. Click on This PC from the left panel in the File Explorer.

Step 3. Right-click on the drive you wish to backup under Devices and drives and select Rebit Backup ➜ Backup this drive from the context menu.

You can monitor the progress of the backups from the Rebit Endpoint Backup window. Until the backup is in progress, the drive getting backed up will display a cloud backup icon. And once the backup completes, this cloud backup icon will change into a green tick mark.

File Folder Backup

Next, we shall look into file/folder backup. You can back up your file/folder in two different ways. One is by using the Windows contextual menu, and another is by the Explore backup option in the Rebit Endpoint Backup app.
