Which One Touch Backup HDD enclosures is Backup4all compatible with?

Backup4all is fully compatible with all the One Touch Backup HDD enclosures produced by A-TEC Subsystem from Taiwan. These devices are natively recognized and work with Backup4all without external configuration.

Another reported device which works with Backup4all is Maxtor OneTouch. This device is not natively supported thus requires additional configuration. Maxtor OneTouch comes with a special software (Maxtor OneTouch Manager) that can be configured to run a backup job in Backup4all when the button is pressed.

If you have a different OTB HDD enclosure, you might be able to configure Backup4all to run a backup job when the button is pressed. If the OTB HDD enclosure contains software from the manufacturer of the device that allows configuring the actions to execute when the button is pressed, you might be able to configure Backup4all to run on pressing the button.

1. In Backup4all, open Tools -> Options and go to the One Touch Backup page.
   Check the option Enable "One Touch Backup" support and select a backup job or backup group to be executed when the button is pressed.
   

   Configure the software that was included with your OTB HDD enclosure to run the following command when the button is pressed:

   "C:\Program Files\Softland\Backup4all 3\Backup4all.exe" /otb

   (command above will open the main application of Backup4all)

   OR

   "C:\Program Files\Softland\Backup4all 3\b4aCmd.exe" /otb

   (command above will open the command line application of Backup4all)
    

2. Configure the software that was included with your OTB HDD enclosure to run the following command when the button is pressed:
   
   "C:\Program Files\Softland\Backup4all 3\Backup4all.exe" /r "backup name"
   
   where "backup name" is the name of the backup job you want to be run.
   

See the help file of Backup4all for more information about how to run a backup job using the command line parameters. ( Help -> Advanced -> Command Line Parameters)
