Using the Backup Job Wizard (WS_FTP Professional)

To start the Backup Job Wizard:

1. Click Tools > Backup Files > Add a new backup job....
2. Complete the Backup Wizard settings to create a new Backup Job.

To use the ZIP files before backing up option, the source files must be in a local folder. Also, to include the current date/time in the name of the destination zip file, include the string "%date" in the file name you enter. WS_FTP will replace that string with the current date/time in format: yyyymmdd-hhmmss.

1. After the settings are complete, the Manage Backup Jobs dialog opens. The new Backup Job displays in the list. The job will run at the next scheduled time, or you can click Run Now to run the job immediately.

   If you schedule a backup job to run Daily (in Backup Wizard settings), the job will start running on the day following the start date.
