Cautions:
Notes:
• Use only the accessories provided in the accessory package.
• Make sure that you first touch an unpainted, grounded metal object
to discharge any static electricity stored on your clothing or body
before touching any electronic components.
• Handle the printed circuit board (PCB) by the edges only. Avoid
touching the electronic components.
• Make sure you have installed the hard drive into the enclosure before
connecting the enclosure to your computer.
• A new hard drive must be initialized and partitioned before it will
appear in Windows Explorer or on your Mac desktop. Refer to your
hard drive manufacturer’s documentation, or see “Formatting the
hard drive in Windows” on page 4.
• Connect the hard drive enclosure to your computer before inserting
the software CD into your optical drive.
To connect the enclosure to your computer:
Installing your hard drive in the enclosure
To install your hard drive in the enclosure:
• Connect the Mini B type connector on the USB Y cable (provided)
to the enclosure, then plug the other end of the cable to your
computer. Connect both USB-A type connectors to the computer
to make sure that the enclosure has sufficient power. A good rule
of thumb would be to use one connector initially, then if your
computer does not recognize the drive, plug in the second
connector.

Backing up your files
The Backup Files project lets you back up important files to a disc, hard
drive, or other storage device. A Backup Files project can be scheduled
to run daily, weekly, or monthly. Large backups are automatically
spread across as many discs as required.
Begin by selecting the drive or folder containing the files you would like
to archive. You can choose to archive all the files in the selected path or
just certain types of files. Several preset file categories are available.
Finally, schedule the project to run on a regular basis, or click the action
button to begin recording now.
Selecting files to back up
You can back up all of the files in a selected path or limit your project to
certain file categories. The following categories can be selected from
the project window: Email, Financial, Music, Photos, Productivity, and
Video and Recorded TV. You can also create one custom category.

Note: Files stored on different source drives cannot be archived in the
same Backup Files project.

Select the types of files you wish to archive. Choose either All
files in the selected path or Only files in the following
categories.
If you selected only files in the following categories, select the file
categories you would like to archive. The choices are Email,
Financial, Music, Photos, Productivity, and Video and
Recorded TV. If you created a custom category, it will also be
available. See "Creating a custom category" on page 7 for more
information.
Tip: You can add to the list of file extensions included in any file category
by using the controls on the Backup options panel. See “Backup Files
options“ on page 8 for more information.
Creating a custom category
Note: Hold your mouse pointer over an icon to see the category it
represents.
Most computer files are defined by the two-, three-, or four-letter
extension placed at the end of their names. Plain text files, for example,
can be identified by their .txt file extension. When you record a Backup
Files project, the program is simply searching your computer for files
with extensions that correspond to the categories you selected. If you
want to archive files that are not included on any of the pre-defined
lists, you could choose to archive all files or edit one of the existing
categories (see “Backup Files options“ on page 8 for more information),
or you could create your own custom list of file extensions that will
appear as the category called My Custom Category.

If you want, place a check mark in the Only archive files
changed since checkbox to limit the backup to files that have
been modified since the date you select. To change the date, click
the date box arrow to open the calendar. When you click a date in
the calendar, the date is automatically entered into the date box.

Selection list. The destination can be a hard drive, a disc

then click OK. If you decided to run the project now, a progress
screen will inform you when the project has been completed.
Click Done to return to the project window.
Note: Scheduled projects must be saved before they can be run.
• The Backup Files project uses a scheduler that is part of the
Windows operating system. A system administrator has the
ability to prevent a computer user from using the scheduler or
running scheduled projects. If the Backup Files scheduler does
not work as expected, consult your system administrator.
• You can use your Windows scheduling software to customize
when your saved projects run. You can schedule a project to run
twice a week or once every hour. Save your project, then edit the
schedule using the Windows Scheduler.

your Windows Vista and Windows 7 Documents folder or
Windows XP My Documents folder. The settings for that project
are displayed in the project window.

Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks.
To run Windows Scheduler in Windows Vista and Windows 7, click

Change the project settings as needed. Click Save to save your
changes. (If you save the project without changing its name, the
original project is overwritten.)
If necessary, insert a blank or rewritable disc into the selected
destination drive.

Windows Scheduler. Remember that scheduling changes made
directly in the Windows Scheduler are not displayed in the Backup Files

Backup tips
Click the action
button to begin recording.
• All of the discs used in a Back Up Files project must be the same
general format.
A progress screen informs you when the project has been
completed.
• In a multi-disc Back Up Files project, files are assigned based on
the size of the first disc you use. If your first disc has a capacity of
650 MB, for example, no more than 650 MB will be burned on
any subsequent disc, even if it has a larger capacity. This also
means that no disc in a project can have a smaller capacity than
the first disc used in a project.
Using the Backup Files scheduler
Each time you create a Backup Files project, you have the option of
running it immediately or scheduling the project to run at a regular
interval that you choose.
• Discs used in a Back Up Files project are closed once they are
recorded. If you use write-once discs, you will not be able to add
additional data.
• To view a list of the files on a Back Up Files disc, open the .RFI file
placed on the disc.

Backups scheduled on the 29th or 30th day of the month will also be
skipped during some months.

Scheduler tips
The following tips will help you to better understand the scheduler:
• Scheduled projects must be saved before they can be run.
• Keep the following limitations in mind if you want a scheduled
project to be completed successfully while you are away from
your computer:
• Launch Backup Files when my external hard drive is
re-connected-Select this option to easily back up files to an
external hard drive.
• Verify data written to the disc after burning-A check mark
in this box adds a verification step to make sure that no errors
occur during the recording of your discs.
• Backup Files will not overwrite files without your permission.
This usually involves clicking on a series of message boxes. To
perform an unattended archive project, you may need to
change the hard drive destination for your archived files or
archive your files to a disc.
• If you are archiving files onto a disc, a blank disc must be
inserted in your drive when the project starts.
• Some of the energy conservation settings available for your
computer may keep a scheduled project from starting even if
the project launcher is open.
