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

To create a new Backup Files project:  
1
Click the File Backup tab in the project list. A list of projects is  
displayed.  
Click the Backup Files project.  
Click Browse and use the Browse for Folder window to select the  
drive or folder containing the files you would like to archive.

Note: Files stored on different source drives cannot be archived in the  
same Backup Files project.  
4
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.

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  
Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Task Scheduler.

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.  
Note: See Windows Help and Support for information on using the  
Windows Scheduler. Remember that scheduling changes made  
directly in the Windows Scheduler are not displayed in the Backup Files  
project window.

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.  
To schedule a Backup Files project:

Note: Not all options are available for all drives or operating systems.  
Note: If you schedule a monthly backup for the 31st day of the month,  
your backup will be skipped during months with fewer than 31 days.  
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.
