Hi, I want to set a specific location on a different hard drive to backup my profile, address book and all saved email folders and email so if my PC crashes, or a virus or Trojan screws with my stuff I can ReInstall my bit Copy of the basic partition and re-import my last known good BackUp file of all my Thunderbird, Mozilla, FireFox email, address, bookmarks etc... 

I want to just click on a BackUp button, point to the drive to backup onto and specify the filename (yyyymmdd-Thunderbird.XXX) and have the entire system in a recoverable fashion on a different hard drive than C:
