  • Page 7: About Pushbutton™ Backup

    About PushButton™ Backup PushButton Backup PushButton Backup is a faster, easier way to run routine data backups. Rather than having to launch a backup utility and set cumbersome parameters every time you want to backup your files, all you need to do is press the PushButton on your Drive. Not only does PushButton Backup make backups simpler and more convenient, but since you’re backing up your data to a high-performance hard drive—as opposed to say, tape or opti-...

  • Page 8: Pushbutton Drive Usage Options

    PushButton drive Usage Options You can use your PushButton Drive in the following ways: • As a dedicated backup device: Combining high-speed data transfers, huge storage capaci- ties, proven reliability, and low cost-per-gigabyte of storage, PushButton Drives are ideal for the dedicated backup or dupli- cation of your computer's startup disk or other hard drive.

  • Page 9: How Does Pushbutton Backup Work

    How does PushButton Backup work? After Redemption is installed, the very first time you press the PushButton on the Drive, Redemption will launch the PushButton Backup Wizard. The wizard will guide you through a few simple steps to set up a customized backup strategy. Once the setup is complete, any time you want to backup your data, simply press the PushButton.

  • Page 10: Backup

    Backup The Backup operation is best suited for those who want to back- up their entire startup disk. As well as backing up files, Backup can also save other types of data, including user settings, appli- cations and their settings, and the operating system and its settings (including the registry).
  • Page 11 Incremental Backups Redemption uses an incremental backup method whereby only new or modified files are saved to the Backup Store at each backup session. This saves both time and disk space versus backing up all of the files on the source every time. However, all previously backed up versions of a file are saved.

  • Page 12: Duplicate

    Multiple Stores Redemption allows you to setup and maintain multiple Backup Stores. For example, if more than one person uses your com- puter, you can set up a separate Backup Store for each user. This means you can have several PushButton Drives connected to your computer.

    of duplicated files with the latest versions from the source vol- ume. Unlike the Backup process, the Duplicate process does not maintain the earlier versions. However, you do have the option to run incremental duplicates, where only new or modified files are copied to the destination at each Duplicate session.

  • Page 15 A few more things you should know about Sync: • You require a separate Sync Store for each computer you sync with your PushButton Drive.
