Most of today’s mail servers support IMAP, even though there are still exceptions. A good example of this would be when you check your Gmail account on your phone, through your email client on your desktop or through the web interface on your laptop and you see the same messages in each case. Instead, you can view your emails on any device because the emails are stored on a remote server and not on an individual device. IMAP, on the other hand, is not tied to a specific device. This means that if you’re using POP3, the emails are tied to a specific device and can’t be viewed on other devices without forwarding them. Once the emails are downloaded, the originals are deleted from the server. POP3 protocol downloads the emails from Inbox to a specific device from the server. Two of the most common protocols are IMAP and POP3. You can also find these steps in our blog here: New device and eM Client?

Otherwise, you'll need to specify the path where the backup file can be found (in Menu > Settings > General > Backup).
