Toolkit app settings
| Start Toolkit automatically at startup | When enabled, Toolkit opens automatically when the computer is started. Note that Toolkit must be open in order to run scheduled backups. |
| Enable Detailed Logs | When enabled, Toolkit records detailed logs that can be used to troubleshoot issues. Only enable if instructed by a Seagate or LaCie support representative. |
Import settings
Import settings are only available for compatible Seagate and LaCie drives with integrated card readers or hub ports. Click on the link for a list of supported devices.
| Import content of inserted memory cards | When enabled, Toolkit automatically copies files from memory cards inserted in your Seagate or LaCie drive's integrated card reader. When disabled, Toolkit will not read memory cards inserted in a card slot. |
| Incremental copy of inserted memory cards | When enabled, copies from memory cards are incremental, that is, Toolkit will only copies new files and will ignore files that were previously imported from the same memory card. When disabled, Toolkit will copy all files from the memory card each time it is inserted in a card slot, regardless of whether files have been previously copied. |
| Import contents of drives connected to hub ports | When enabled, Toolkit will prompt you to copy files from USB storage devices connected to a hub port on the external drive. When disabled, Toolkit will not prompt you to copy files from USB storage devices. |

- The computer restarts and Toolkit is relaunched.
