How to start backup on drive plug-in?

Thread needs solution

Hello, I have been using Acronis True Image Home 2010 quite sucessfully, but recently I came up with a question that I can't find help for on Acronis KnowledgeBase site.

I typically do a full backup on a firewire drive. It is scheduled to run once a day at a given time. This works fine.

Question: is there a way to initiate the backup when I plugin my firewire drive? This drive is dedicated to backups and has not other data on it.

Alexander,

With 2011, you can initiate a file backup when the drive becomes available, but not a disk and partition backup.

Differently, Drive Notify can remind you to plug the drive when the backup is supposed to happen.
