You are so right Mary. I love this thing so much, the last thing I want to do is kill it. Thanks for the reassurance!

It's a one or two-step process; just choose backup and it's all done automatically. As a side note and a bit of home-grown philosophy: I've found that operating these devices involves experimentation and stepping out with a bit of faith; I've found that it's easier to learn how to use these devices if you (1) read the manual and (2) just do it rather than pondering whether or not to try it, or asking endless how-to-do-it questions. Don't be afraid to just do it. It won't explode. Mary
