21Before you begin, make sure…1) Your PushButton Drive is connected and mounted to your system.2) Redemption is installed, either as a stand-alone application on your computeror as part of the Nomad Mobile Desktop (Nomad-equipped Drives only). IfRedemption is not yet installed, see "Installing Redemption" for instructions.A note about scheduling:As a full-featured backup application, Redemption is equipped with a schedulingfunction. However, we recommend you do NOT schedule your backups. There areseveral reasons for this:• PushButton Backup allows you to backup your files at any time, rather thanwaiting for the next scheduled backup. This is especially beneficial if you havea new, very important file that you want to backup immediately;• In order for scheduling to work, you must leave the Drive running all the time(which uses more electricity) or you must remember to mount the Drive beforeeach scheduled backup (which largely negates the benefits of scheduling);• If you leave your Drive running all the time, you increase the risk of someoneelse viewing your confidential files.Setting Up PushButton Backup
