Basic Backup

I am trying the pro version for the first time. I have a La Cie external hard drive and I would like to do a simple backup. But the program wants to do a compare. Compare what? There is nothing on the La Cie drive yet. I have to do the backup first. Is there a simple set of steps to do the first backup? What am I missing? I have tried to set a profile and I was successful. But the compare section seems premature at this point.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, after you select the source and target folders (target would be the La Cie) , VV will compare (i.e. scan) the folders to determine what files to copy. For the first backup the target will be emtpy so VV will copy all the files from source to target. thanks
