The first type of backup allows you to save a snapshot of your server configuration onto your desktop computer. This will save all user accounts, user directories, i-bay contents and web content, as well as the configuration parameters entered using the server console and the server manager. The web panel shows you the size of the backup file so that you can verify whether sufficient space exists on your desktop machine.

Please be aware that (up to the current v7.1) there is a 2GB limit on backup to desktop (or at least the restore from desktop)  see http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34343.0  Consequently, many sme admins install additional contribs for backup.  See http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34187.0 for a contribution that extends the function of the backup panel to allow large backups to locally attached USB disks or network shares.

When you choose Backup to desktop, a browser window will appear that will allow you to name the file and select the location on your desktop where the file will be saved.
