Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use more than one Drive with PushButton™ Backup on the same com-
puter?
A: While you can connect more than one PushButton™-enabled Drive to a computer,
you can only use the PushButton™ on the first Drive you installed. However, if the
Button Backup Script is set to run Backups, and you need additional storage capacity

AcomData Drive. Can I use this version rather than the version bundled with the
Drive to perform backups?
