+    <p>
+    <em>Schemes</em> - select from three default schemes <em>Single Backup</em>, <em>Keep All Versions</em>, and <em>Rolled Backup Files</em>, or choose <em>Custom</em> to enable a previously defined custom scheme.

+    <em>Custom</em> - Check this box to adjust the parameters of the currently selected scheme. Once <em>OK</em> is selected these parameters will be saved as the <em>Custom</em> scheme in your user preferences. To revert changes hit <em>Cancel</em>.

+    <p><em>Scheme Examples</em> - shows how backup files will appear according to the currently selected scheme and parameters. 
+    </p>
+    <p><em>Deleting Old Backup Files</em> - these settings control how many backups are kept.</p>
+    <p><em>Backup filename strategy</em> - specify the naming convention for numbered backups and how they are ordered.</p>
