The first button on the "Tasks" page groups together tasks that are needed when first setting up FileBack PC.  In most cases, these tasks have been performed during the first time setup wizard, or within the first few days after first using FileBack PC.  The available tasks include:

• Product Overview: A basic description of FileBack PC, including a brief description of the concepts needed to understand the software.
   
• Place an Order brings up the registration code ordering information screen for purchasing a registration code to unlock all available functionality of FileBack PC.
   
• Install Registration Code allows a registration code received from Maximum Output Software to be installed into FileBack PC.
   
• Product Help retrieves the help documentation associated with FileBack PC (the document you are currently viewing).
   
• Request Technical Support allows you to easily get personal help with any problem you may be having.

• Create a New Backup Job is used to create a brand new backup job from scratch, using the default editor selected during the first-time setup wizard or the under File / Preferences / General.
   
• New Job Using Wizard creates a new backup job using the step-by-step wizard, which provides basic backup job functionality.
   
• New Job Using Advanced Editor creates a new backup job using the advanced editor, which provides full backup job functionality.  (Not available in FileBack PC Limited Edition)

• Click Start Backup Job(s) to bring up a list of available backup jobs and start the backup operation.
   
• Click Start Backup Group(s) to bring up a list of available backup groups and start the backup operation.
   
• Start QuickRun Backup starts the backup jobs which have the "QuickRun" backup trigger turned on.
   
• Perform a Quick Backup creates a one-time temporary backup job and immediately starts the job.  Use this option to perform a given backup just once without having to go through multiple steps to start the job.

• Restore Using a Wizard steps you through restoring your data by asking questions and providing other steps to select where and how the data should be restored.  This is recommended when restoring more than a handful of files.
   
• Restore Files Manually uses the Quick Restore feature of FileBack PC to restore files one at a time.  Use this feature when you know exactly where your files can be found, and only need to restore a few files.
   
• Decode .FBCB Files allows files which have been compressed or encrypted by FileBack PC to be opened.  You may use this feature to open files that are no longer associated with a particular job, or if they have been sent to you by someone else.

Tip: Files can easily be restored from within the Windows Explorer by dragging and dropping them from an Explorer window onto the FileBack PC window.  .FBCB and other FileBack PC specific files can be double-clicked from within Windows to easily open or restore as well.

There is only one available task on this button.  The Destination Folder Cleanup Wizard helps you to remove out-of-date or otherwise unnecessary files from your backup destination folders.

These tasks are only available in the Administrator Edition of FileBack PC.

• Remote Administration allows manipulation of backup jobs and other settings on remote computers to be managed.  You may remotely create, edit, or remove backup jobs, view log information, upgrade copies of FileBack PC, or transfer files from within the Remote Administration Console.
   
• Create Deployment Package allows a FileBack PC deployment package to be created, which makes it easy to install FileBack PC on many computers.  The resulting files can be transferred to a network and be included as part of a logon script, for example, to automatically install FileBack PC during startup.
