Connect the hard drive to the SATA data and power connectors on the enclosure, then secure it to the enclosure using the included screws (C). 3. Re-assemble the enclosure (D) using the 4 screws in Step 1. 4. Using the included USB cable, connect the enclosure to a USB port on the computer.
BACKING UP FILES 1. When the Prolific icon displays on the desktop (below), double-click it to launch the program (or go to Start / Programs / Prolific Storage on your desktop). 2. When the backup program is opened, the Welcome screen presents two options for Backup Files: Create or Restore. To back up files, click Create Backup Files or go to the Backup screen by clicking the Backup tab. 3. The Backup screen presents Source Directories, the Destination Drive and backup options.
items. Backed-up files will be stored in a subfolder called “PL2X7X Backup.” Otherwise, you can select: - “Compress Backup Files,” which requires that files be restored before opening (see Restoring Backup Files). If you also select “User-defined file name,” you’ll first be prompted to enter a specific filename and folder (and these files will still need to be restored before accessing them).
. Go to your USB storage drive (“MyUSBDrive” in the example below, which represents the backup HDD in the drive enclosure), and check the “MyBackup” files. A small utility program called PLBackup is also added into the “MyBackup” folder so you can execute it if the external drive is connected to another PC that doesn’t have the Prolific Backup software installed. You will also see the subfolder “PL2X7X Backup” in which the backup files are stored.
. Inside the subfolder “PL2X7X Backup” you will find the selected folders that were copied with a date-time prefix added on the folder name. You will also see an associated “.pbi” file that is used to identify the backup folders in order to restore those folders. It is important that you do not delete this .pbi file. 8. The second backup option is “Compress Backup Files,” which lets you back up files to a compressed file format for added protection.
9. When backup is complete, the compressed backup files will be stored in the “PL2X7X Backup” subfolder. Note that each selected folder is compressed separately with a date-time folder name prefix used as a filename. Note also the associated .pbi file that you need in order to restore these files. 10. When using the “Compress Backup Files” option, you can also select “User-defined file name” to specify your own filename and folder.
11. When you click Backup, you’ll be prompted to enter the filename to be used for the compressed backed-up files and the folder directory to store the files. Click Save to begin the backup. 12.When the backup is complete, the compressed backed-up files will be stored in the folder you specified and with the filename(s) you specified. Each selected folder is compressed separately with the specified filename used as a prefix. Again, note the corresponding .
13. The “Backup modified files only” option lets you save time by just backing up those files on the folders that were modified from your previous backup. For a first-time backup, a full backup of the selected folders in a special backup folder is needed in order to compare the files (see Step 14). Click Backup to start.
14. Notice that a new subfolder — “PL2X7X OnlyBackupModify” — was created, which is where the backed-up files are stored. The next time you do a backup, the program will compare the files and only back up the files that are modified. 15. Inside the “PL2X7X OnlyBackupModify” subfolder you’ll find the selected folders that were copied. You’ll also see a corresponding .pbi file used to identify the backup folders in order to restore those folders. It’s important that you don’t delete this .
16. The next time you back up your files, the folder where the files are stored will just be updated with those files that were modified. Note that a new .pbi file will be created each time you do a backup. Always use the latest .pbi file to restore the files. ONE-TOUCH BACKUP FUNCTION With the drive enclosure loaded with a backup hard drive and connected to your computer (and powered on), you can simply press the Backup button on the enclosure to launch the software and begin backing up selected files.
RESTORING BACKED-UP FILES 1. When the Prolific icon displays on the desktop (below), double-click it to launch the program (or go to Start / Programs / Prolific Storage on your desktop). 2. When the backup program is opened, the Welcome screen presents two options for Backup Files: Create or Restore. To restore backed-up files, click Restore Backup Files or go to the Restore screen by clicking the Restore tab. 3. Click Browse (...) to find the location of the backed-up file.
4. When the desired folder is selected, the .pbi files corresponding to the backed-up files will be listed in the “Select a backup file” window. Select the backup filename you want to restore.
5. When you select one of the backedup files (.pbi file) in the backup file list, the actual backup folders will appear in the “source file” window to let you know which folders you can restore. In the “Restore Directories” panel, you can choose to restore the file to its original directory or to a new directory. To restore the file to a new directory (the default setting), click Setting. 6. On the Directory Setting screen, click the New Directories column to select the new directory folder you want.
7. Once your preferences have been set, click Restore to begin restoring the backed-up files. The files will be shown being restored to your desired restore directory. 8.
