Feature REQUESTS

[al3x]

Another question is how to present this feature in the user interface. We definitely don't want the interface to end up as cluttered as Macrium Reflect's.

I recommend one of these options below:

1) Change the backup button to allow the type to be picked as shown in the screenshot below. This would be my preference because I'm always manually creating backups of various types.  If you do this, you can remove "Backup" from the Actions button since it would be redundant.
2) Keep the backup button how it is now, but allow a new "Next Scheduled" type when setting the default behavior for the button.  If you keep a default backup button, can you also add hover text on the button to show what type of backup is going to be run when clicked? I can never remember what type I set it to.

Option 1 wouldn't work because of the option "Default behavior of the "Backup" button" in advanced settings. I think that should stay because it's an easy way to always force a full backup with a single click. I think there's some people who don't want to think about what type of backup they want to run next.

What about this instead? You place a little icon next to the pause/resume button which will trigger the next scheduled update.
Maybe like this:



Also just an idea. Icon might not be the best to say "run scheduled backup" but I wasn't creative enough
