Make it quicker to Start/Stop Backups

If you have More than One drive/partition to backup, when you choose Catagory Backup, you should be able to Choose Any/All drives to backup, and Then be able to Start them, with One Extra click.

The way it is now, you have to Go to HOME, choose a drive, Click on Backup, Click Start Backup, Click on HOME, Choose the Next drive, Click on Backup, Click Start Backup, Click on HOME, Choose the Next drive… Etc.

I know that part of SmartWare, is to Leave the Backup running in the Background. But, sometimes, you want to do something More CPU Intensive (game, graphics, CPU hog utility). Maybe you want to be sure the Backup is OFF before you turn the computer off?  Maybe you hope it can do a Quick backup, before you turn it off Again, so, you do Multiple Steps to “Start Backup”. Leave it for awhile. Then Multiple Steps (again), to “Stop Backup”.

All this should be from One Window.

Also… If you want to be SURE to have your E-mail Folders backed up, there should be a way to FORCE a backup of E-mail files. You KNOW your E-mail program is Closed Down. You Know you want to Back-up NOW, since you are going to have your E-mail program ON ALL day. Then, you want to Shut-down Quickly. You should be able to Close your E-mail program. Open SmartWare. Choose Backup E-mail (catagory) files NOW. Smartware backs them up, at THAT Moment (ALL E-mail files). Of course, giving the option of Stating just Where those E-mail files Are (Program And Data); maybe even what file Extentions they are?

I believe that the Current Smartware version (1.6.4), “waits” to backup E-mail; maybe Once a day??  How does it know When to try? When you are RUSHING to Shut-down, for the day?  Or Re-booting, after a program crash?
