USB Dumper is a small portable software program for the Windows operating system that can be used to create automatic backups of data on USB devices that are connected to the computer system. The program is configured in an ini file that is supplied with the download. The parameters that can be edited include the destination for the backups on a local hard drive, a system tray icon that can be shown or hidden and a prompt that can also be shown or hidden.
If the system tray icon is set to 0 it will not be shown. This means that the only way to close the application is to kill it in the Windows task manager or by using a comparable software. A disabled prompt will have the consequence that the transfer is initiated right away without notifying the user about the transfer. Setting the parameter to 1 will display the prompt so that the user can accept or deny the transfer.

backup=E:\test
[Optionen]
dateformat=0
abfrage=0
traymenu=1
- backup defines the backup patch
- dateformat defines the format of the directory that is created, 0 is DD.MM.YYYY, 1 is YYYY.MM.DD. It is furthermore possible to mix the variables by using T for day, M for month and J for year, e.g. JJ.MM.DD
- abfrage defines if a prompt is displayed (1) or not (0)
- traymenu defines if a traymenu icon is displayed (1) or not (0)
The software will create a backup of the data whenever the drive is connected to the computer running USB Dumper. Enabling the prompt is the only option to prevent the program from backing up the data every time the device is connected.
USB Dumper can be downloaded from the German blog where it was posted. It is compatible with most Windows operating systems including Windows Vista and Windows 7.
