Abstract
Methods and apparatuses that present a list of graphic elements representing files stored in a device storing a cart data specifying a file collection among the files to be backed up to a backup service are described. The application may be activated to perform processing operations on selected files via the presented list. A list of interface options having edit menus to update the file collection may be presented in response to receiving a first user input while the application is still active. The selected files may be added to the file collection in response to receiving a second user input via a first menu of the edit menus. The application may be reactivated after the selected files are added to the file collection. Subsequently, on demand backup operations may be initiated to copy files specified in the file collection in response to receiving a user input.
