Confusion Creating A Shortcut in Macrium Free.

[hansja]

In the Backup Tasks view, the last but one Icon in the Backup Definitions File tab is "Create a desktop Shortcut of the selected file".

If you click on that you're given a choice of Backup Type: I wonder, does that do anything for real?

I e if you have an XML file defining a Full backup, and create a shortcut to that, selecting the option "Differential", save the shortcut and double click it, will it start a full or a differential backup??

I can't see anything in the shortcut properties that could make a difference.

What gives??
