Step 5.

This will pop-up another model box, on this example we are creating a scheduled task for backups. Click the dropdown under "ACTION" and select "Create backup". You can add files/ folders you don't want to backup in the "ignored files" section. Once you are happy with the settings click "Create task". This will create the scheduled backup task.
