For your daily or regular backup procedure, we recommend that you select the “Complete verification” option and then click the OK button to return to the Save Backup: Method screen

·         For those times when you are performing a pre-verification backup, we recommend that you select the No verification (not recommended) option and click the OK button




6.      Once you are back in the Save Backup: Method screen, click on the Finish button to proceed with and finalise the backup process.





7.      Once the backup has completed you will be prompted with a similar message prompt as shown below. Click the OK button





8. We recommend that you also regularly keep a secondary copy of the backup which is kept on you own local computer or external hard drive. You can copy that backup file from your B:(Backup) drive to your local computer hard drive or external hard drive storage device by following the steps in the article.

Can anyone verify if this does allow you to move a backup to an external network drive?

Good call John, I always put a copy to Google Drive just for some extra peace of mind.
