Restoring your complete system
Macintosh OS 9
Before you begin, you must format your system hard drive and
install your operating system. If you had multiple partitions on your
hard drive(s), you must create and format the same number of disk
partitions. These partitions must be of equal or greater size to what
they were on your original system. For information on how to
partition and format your system drive, see the Maxtor
Knowledgebase online at: http://www.maxtorkb.com.
Restoring your OS X system
For instructions on restoring your complete Macintosh OS X
system, see the QuickStart poster included with your
Maxtor OneTouch II drive.
Most Macintosh computers are setup at the factory with
only one partition per hard drive. If you did not have multiple
partitions on any of your hard drives, all you have to do is
reformat your hard disk(s) and re-install your Macintosh
operating system. For more information, see your Macintosh
manual.
Do not partition or reformat the Maxtor OneTouch II drive
that your system backup is stored on.
Once you get your system running, reinstall Retrospect
Express using the Maxtor Install CD. See “Installing Your
Drive” on page 6 in chapter 2.
To restore your system:
1. Prepare your hard drive - (Partition, if necessary, and
format.)
2. Install your operating system.
3. Reinstall Maxtor OneTouch software including
Retrospect Express. (For more information see page 6 in
chapter 2.)
4. Open Retrospect Express.
The Retrospect Express Directory window will open.
5. Click Restore.
A window will appear asking you to ‘Select the restore
type’
6. Select Restore an entire disk and click OK.
The ‘Accessing more backup sets’ window will appear
asking you to open an existing catalog file or rebuild one.
7. Click Open.
Find and select the system backup set on your
Maxtor OneTouch II drive.
8. Click Open.
Your system backup set should appear in the top part of
the Restore from Backup:Source window. Make sure it
is selected.
