Express Assist 8 and Express Assist 9 were supplied with a desktop and start menu shortcut for a "Backup Now!" function.
The "Backup Now!" function was used to easily repeat a prior backup. It was especially useful for those that use "Jobs".
In Express Assist 10 - the same functionality is available from the main window via a "down arrow" on the "Backup" button - as shown below:

The desktop shortcut for "Backup Now!" was removed from EA10 to reduce the complexity of the program. Although it was very useful, a large number users were confused by having two Express Assist icons on the desktop.
The former "Backup Now!" icon can be re-instated as follows:
1 - download from: http://ajsystems.com/files/ea10BNowSetup.exe
2 - save the ea10BNowSetup file to a handy folder
3 - run the ea10BNowSetup file to re-install the "Backup Now!" icon
