Detecting external drive one-touch button?

[Avi Schwartz]

I have an external Transcend disk drive which has a "One-Touch Backup"
button that on a Mac or a Windows machine will start a backup program when
pressed.

I wasn't able to find such a program for Linux and I was wondering if there
is a way I can detect the button press in Ubuntu so I can write a script or
program that listens for this button press and executes the backup program
or script of my choice to backup my photos.

Any ideas?
