When offloading camera cards, it is recommended to create two copies of the original camera files and save them to two separate hard drives. This approach protects your files and ensures you always have a clean, untouched backup. Creating an archive copy is optional, but it is recommended for added backup and peace of mind.

For more information, see Set Up Working and Archive Folder Locations.

The following options affect how ProCapture Backup operates during and after a backup.

• Eject Memory Cards on Completion: Automatically ejects memory cards after a backup job finishes, making it safe to remove them.
• Restore Application on Memory Card Entry: Brings ProCapture Backup to the front when a memory card is inserted.
• Validate Copied Files: Verifies that files were copied correctly during backup for added data security.
• Recent Jobs: Controls how many previous jobs appear in the interface. You can disable this list or choose to show 3, 5, 10, or 15 recent jobs.
