I set up a new backup job on the Configuration panel, but when I returned a few days later it did not show there any more, even though I had Saved As.
Please explain the difference between, Saved, Saved As, and Batch Save. Should they be saved somewhere special to appear on the Configuration Panel.
Thank you

Saves As - Saves configuration as a .ffs_gui file. When ran directly, it will open the FFS window
Save as batch job - Saves configuration as a .ffs_batch file. When ran, it runs in the background without a FFS window. This can be changed depending on what boxes you tick when saving

Note: Both of these save types can be 'opened' in FFS and will show up in the top-left panel and should stay there until removed.

Save - Simply saves and changes made to a configuration but retains type and other settings

You don't have to save them anywhere specifically. I save them in a 'sync' folder in Documents. The only time I have seen them disappear is if someone used a program like RevoUninstaller to remove FFS before installing it again. You can simply go to file->open to select your saved configuration and return it to the panel
