What is PushButton™ Backup?
PushButton™ Backup is an easy and convenient way to routinely backup your impor-
tant files simply by pressing the PushButton™ on the front of your Drive. Not only
does PushButton™ Backup make backups easier and more convenient, but since
you’re backing up your data to a hi-performance hard drive, as opposed to say, tape
or optical media, backups are also much faster.

How PushButton™ Backup Works
Along with special hardware and firmware components, (inside the Drive) PushButton™
Backup uses a special version of Retrospect Express and the AcomData PushButton™
Manager software (on the included CD) that work together to initiate and run backups
whenever you press the PushButton™.
Retrospect Express is the software that actually performs the data backup function.
The Retrospect Express software bundled with your AcomData Drive was specially
configured to work with PushButton™ Backup. The primary function of the AcomData
PushButton™ Manager is to enable the PushButton™ on the Drive to initiate a backup
when pressed.
The first time you use PushButton™ Backup, the Retrospect Button Backup wizard will
launch and help you quickly setup a Duplicate script that specifies the volume (drive)
you want to backup and the types of files you want to include in your routine backups.
After setup is complete, each subsequent time you press the PushButton™, Retrospect
Express will automatically launch and perform an incremental Duplicate, saving the
files to your AcomData Drive.
You only need to set up the script once. If you happen to delete the script, the next
time you initiate a PushButton™ Backup, Retrospect Express will run the Button Backup
wizard.

Duplicates vs. Backups
There are three types of backup operations available: Duplicates; Backups, and;
Archives. By default, PushButton™ Backup performs Duplicates. However, after you set
up PushButton™ Backup you can change the Button Backup script to perform Backups
or Archives instead. (The Archive operation is not discussed in this guide. For information
