That is what we are here for.  If you have any questions, ask on.  For more
complex backup and archive tasks the tags work great.  They probably need
some explanation, so I will provide an example.  Adding a Job with the
following target directory will create a separate directory structure of the
source directory, "Finance", in this case.  The new structure will create a
new folder each new year and subdirectories each month of that source
folder.  Each new month, a new folder is created and the entire Finance
folder is archived.  Each night at 1 am, the default backup time, any
changes to the archive folder is updated.  Therefore, at the end of each
month, a copy of everything in that folder is preserved.  I do not do this
for many folders, just the very important folders, since it creates so many
copies.

Target directory:
C:\Users\Don\Documents\Finance\<yyyy>\Month<mm>\

The portion"Month<mm>" will create a new folder each month, such as
"Month01" for January, and so on in a folder for the current year, such as
"2010".
