If you want to start your backups manually instead of using our scheduler, you can create desktop shortcuts for your backup sets. After a backup set has been created, right-click it in the list ob backup sets.

 Select Desktop Shortcut from the context menu.
 

In the dialog window you can create a shortcut for the selected backup set on your desktop, in the start menu or in the autostart folder.

The selected backup set can be started with the options Backup, Backup and shut down, Backup and standby and Full Backup for incremental or differential backup sets.

 Backup creates a shortcut for a 1-Click Backup.

 Backup and shut down
 creates a shortcut for a 1-Click Backup with the added feature that the computer is automatically shut down after backup.

 Full Backup for incremental or differential backup sets creates a shortcut for a 1-Click Full Backup even though the backup set is for incremental or differential backups.

 Backup and standby
 creates a shortcut for a 1-Click Backup with the added feature that the computer is automatically set to standby after backup. Going into standby mode and returning from standby will usually need much less time than shutting a computer on or off. Standby is usually used for notebooks because it helps save energy while the notebook is in battery mode.
