# Defining base directories

The most fundamental setting of your script is what directories Synk should be working with. For backups, you must define source and destination base directories, and optionally an archive folder. For synchronizations, you must define the base directories you want to synchronize, and again optionally an archive folder.

There are several ways to define a base directory:

- click the "Folder" or "List" button on backup sources, or
- click the "Browse..." button on backup destinations and synchronization sources, or
- drop a folder onto the base directory's display, or
- [Pro only]drop a folder into the list of backup destinations or synchronization sources, or onto an existing item in the list to replace it
