120+
121+ < img class ="section-img " src ="sources/TargetDrive.png ">
122+
123+ < p class ="desc ">
124+ In this step, you choose where the backup will be stored.
125+ Selecting a suitable target location is important to ensure enough space is available.

127+
128+ < img class ="section-img " src ="sources/Compression.png ">
129+
130+ < p class ="desc ">
131+ AMBCT offers multiple compression methods depending on your needs.
132+ You can prioritize speed or compression ratio depending on available storage and performance.

141+
142+ < img class ="section-img " src ="sources/Benchmark.png ">
143+
144+ < p class ="desc ">
145+ AMBCT performs a real benchmark before starting the backup.
146+ It measures CPU performance as well as disk read and write speeds to calculate a realistic ETA.
147+ </ p >
148+
149+ < img class ="section-img " src ="sources/PreCreate.png ">
150+
151+ < p class ="desc ">
152+ All selected settings are displayed for final confirmation.
153+ This ensures that no mistakes are made before starting the backup process.

164+
165+ < img class ="section-img " src ="sources/SelectExistingBackup.png ">
166+
167+ < p class ="desc ">
168+ In append mode, an existing backup file is selected.
169+ This allows adding new data without creating a completely new backup.
170+ </ p >
171+
172+ < img class ="section-img " src ="sources/AOptions.png ">
173+
174+ < p class ="desc ">
