Profile Selection

Profile Selection

The profile selection window looks very complicated, but in fact it is very simple. This window is used to set up 2 features, the first feature is how USB Flash Backup selects the profile for the backup operation. Only one selection can be checked and in the above example I have checked "Depending on flash drives label". The second feature I have also checked which is "wait 3 seconds before backup begins". All of the features are explained in full below. So lets click NEXT and continue the setup wizard.

1 . Use current profile for backupUse current profile for backup

Use current profile for backup
If this feature is checked, the profile used will be the profile shown on the main control screen of USB Flash Backup and will have to be changed manually.

2 . Depending on flash drive's labelDepending on flash drive's label

Depending on flash drive's label
When his option is checked, the program will select the profile with the matching USB label name. This is a very clever feature that I should explain in full, so here goes. If I set up 2 or more profiles and each user has his own USB pen drive with its own unique label (which we have already learned about). The program will switch the profile automatically when each user inserts his pen drive, now just imagine that, you may have 10,20 or even 100 users all with their own unique backup list and the software will automatically switch between user profiles and backup each users data without any mouse clicks or key strokes if this option is check AND each user has chosen "backup only to this flash drive" from the Additional Options window.

3 . Depending on current user's nameDepending on current user's name

Depending on current user's name
If checked this feature will check your windows login name, if this matches any profile name it will automatically switch to that profile and begin the backup operation.

4 . Wait 3 SecondsWait 3 Seconds

Wait 3 Seconds
This is another smart feature, when this item is checked a small popup window will appear above the system icon tray, this will allow you to change profile and has a 3 second count down. If this is not checked this display will not be shown. Click here to see a screen shot of this display.
