Setting Up Pushbutton Backup - Acomdata HD320UHE5 User Manual

Setting Up PushButton Backup

Before you begin, make sure...
1) Your PushButton Drive is connected and mounted to your system.
2) Redemption is installed, either as a stand-alone application on your computer
or as part of the Nomad Mobile Desktop (Nomad-equipped Drives only). If
Redemption is not yet installed, see "Installing Redemption" for instructions.
A note about scheduling:
As a full-featured backup application, Redemption is equipped with a scheduling
function. However, we recommend you do NOT schedule your backups. There are
several reasons for this:
• PushButton Backup allows you to backup your files at any time, rather than
waiting for the next scheduled backup. This is especially beneficial if you have
a new, very important file that you want to backup immediately;
• In order for scheduling to work, you must leave the Drive running all the time
(which uses more electricity) or you must remember to mount the Drive before
each scheduled backup (which largely negates the benefits of scheduling);
• If you leave your Drive running all the time, you increase the risk of someone
else viewing your confidential files.
