    This document provides instructions for three exercises in a lab about configuring backups in Windows 8: 1. The first exercise demonstrates creating a custom backup job to back up files from the C: drive to the X: drive on demand. 2. The second exercise performs incremental backups by modifying a file after the initial backup and observing that subsequent backups are faster and smaller. 3. The final lab challenge tasks the student with scheduling a backup job to run weekly to fully backup the C: drive to protect data on a regular basis.
