How to Configure One Touch Backup?

Top Previous Next

Some USB enclosures have a button to start the execution of an associated program. If you have such a device, you can configure Backup4all to execute a backup job or a backup group when this button is pressed. If your One Touch Backup device is not detected by Backup4all (Backup4all is not natively compatible with the device), you could use the command line parameters to create a command that can be associated to the One Touch button of your device. See this section for details.

If the One Touch Backup option is enabled when the application starts and there is no backup job or backup group set to be executed when the One Touch button of the USB enclosure is pressed, the user will be asked to choose one from the options displayed in the One Touch Backup dialog:

•	Create a new backup job for One Touch Backup. If you select this, the New Backup Wizard will start and you can create a new backup job to be used with the One Touch Backup feature

•	Select an existing backup job or backup group for One Touch Backup. If you select this, the One Touch Backup section of the Options window will open and you can select the backup job or group you want to use. This option is disabled when there is no backup job to select.

•	Disable this feature (you can activate it back at any time from Options). This will disable the One Touch Backup feature. You can activate it again from the One Touch Backup section of the Options window.

If you press Cancel, Backup4all will open, but when you will press the One Touch button of the USB device the same dialog will be displayed. This dialog will appear again if the backup job (executed when the One Touch button is pressed) was deleted.
