Installing Your Drive 36

Doing your first backup
1. Open Retrospect Express (if not already open).
The Retrospect Express Directory window will open.
2. Click the Run drop-down menu at the top of the screen and
select EasyScript Backup.
The EasyScript Backup window will appear.
3. Make sure Execute now is selected and click Execute.
Retrospect will now start scanning your system, the
Immediate Backup window will open and the backup process
will begin.
Normal backup may take a long time, the first time. Each
time after that, it will take less time. This is because
Retrospect compares the files in your actual system to the
backup version and only copies new files or files that have
been modified since the last backup. For more information
on backup strategies, see the Express User’s Guide.
When the backup is complete, the message: ‘Execution
completed successfully’ should appear.
If your system backup was successful, you can quit Retrospect.
For OS 9: Go to the File menu and select Quit.
For OS X: Go to the Retrospect Express menu and select Quit
Retrospect Express.
When you quit Retrospect, a window will appear telling you: ‘Script
EasyScript Backup is next for automatic execution.’
This is a reminder to make sure that the drive you plan to use for
the next backup (your Maxtor OneTouch II drive) is connected to
your computer and ready. If you are not sure, you can click the
Check Media button to have Retrospect check for you.
