How to do auto Backup when pendrive plug?

Submitted by crossmax on March 24, 2009 - 7:58am

Hello!

I need to do a pendrive backup ever that I plug it in my PC.
I will like that this backup will be automatic and incremental to save into hard disk all changes realized in pendrive

How do I will can get this result?

I tested with a autorun and I adding a script in the app toucan script tab (for example I typed: Backup "Diferencial_Dev_I") but didn´t works.

I appreciate any help

I have taken so long to reply, I must have missed this post.

You need to use Toucan in command line mode, so try something like this in your Autorun

Toucan.exe "Diferencial_Dev_I"

Hi! Thanks for you reply. The

Hi!
Thanks for you reply.

The autorun file works but I must click on the Toucan application in the typical window that windows autorun. In this moment, the backup starts. I guess that to do automatic completly backup is impossible, right? Problem is that I can´t dobleclick on device in MyPC window because it make backup again. I must "explore" device to see my documents. How do I solve this problem?

And other question,
this .inf realize a incremental backup, but only works once. If I try following backups appear this error:
