TipsAndTricks

Useful and perhaps non-obvious AnyBackup features.

Introduction

I've worked hard to figure out the nuances of wxPython and add some nice touches to the AnyBackup UI, but not all of these features are obvious at a glance.

Details

• File Dragging
  • You can drag files out of the result and content panes just like you can from an explorer folder. (Though obviously the volumes in question need to be hooked up.)
  • 
  • 
  • 
• Show In Explorer
  • You can double click on files in result and content pane to show them in explorer.
  • 
  • 
• Copying files from disconnected backup drives
  • If you want to copy files from backup drives that are disconnected, but don't want to keep track of what drives to connect, etc, you can search for them, select them in the result window and hit Edit -> Copy To.
  • AnyBackup will prompt you to connect the drives as needed.
