- Select the folder where you want to save the backup.

Notes:
* Please DO NOT put the file location within the .SAJ folder as this is the folder that the software backs up.
* The last-used backup file path is saved and becomes the default for the next backup.
*Do not overwrite an existing backup unless you know for sure that is what you want to do.
