CA 2483738

A, preferably external, storage device (114) is provided with a button (112) or other user input which, when activated causes a launch of an application such as a backup of data from the host device (124) onto the external storage device (114). Preferably, the external storage device (114) includes a hard disk drive (116). Communication with the host device (124) can be made using USB, IEEE 1394, Ethernet, wireless links or other links (126). The external device (114) is configured to allow the host (124) to become aware of a button press, e.g., by a notification or interrupt technique, or by a polling technique.

Une mémoire de préférence extérieure comporte un bouton ou une autre entrée utilisateur qui, quand il est activé, provoque le lancement d'une application, telle que la sauvegarde de données provenant de l'hôte dans cette mémoire extérieure. Cette dernière comprend, de préférence, une unité de disque dur. La communication avec l'hôte peut s'effectuer au moyen de USB, IEEE 1394, Ethernet, des liaisons radio ou d'autres liaisons. Le dispositif extérieur est conçu pour permettre à l'hôte de prendre conscience d'une pression exercée sur le bouton, par exemple, au moyen d'une technique de notification ou d'interruption ou d'une technique d'interrogation.
