Customizing The Button Backup Script - Acomdata HD500FPMM User Manual

Customizing the
Button Backup Script
This section shows you how to change the Button Backup script to run
Backups rather than Duplicates. You can also set the script to run Archives.
(For information on Archives, see the Help menu in Retrospect Express.)
If you change the Button Backup script to perform another type of operation,
the old script will be overwritten and no longer available.
1. Launch Retrospect
Express by clicking the
Retrospect Express
icon––do not press the
PushButton™. Click
Automate in the navi-
gation bar and choose
Manage Scripts (Figure
23).
2. Select the Retrospect
Button Backup
(Duplicate) script and
click the Delete icon on
the toolbar in the Scripts
