Retrospect User’s Guide for instructions on how to make
a complete system backup copy.
This selection does not copy your operating system,
registry (Windows) files, or Internet cache files.
7. The Step 3 screen is displayed. Select the Maxtor Personal
Storage 5000 drive or other drive on your computer as the
location to store the copy of your files. Click Next.
The setup wizard will not let you select the same drive to
be both the source and destination for your files. The source
and destination drives must be different.
8. The “Congratulations... now ready” screen appears. To
complete the Maxtor OneTouch setup, click Finish. Select
Exit (Windows) or Quit (Mac) from the pull down File
menu, to quit Retrospect Express.
You are now ready to use the Maxtor OneTouch feature. Just
touch the button on the front panel of your drive and
Retrospect Express will automatically make a backup copy of
your files. It’s that easy!
How to use the Maxtor OneTouch button
Each time you touch the button, Retrospect Express makes a
copy of the folders and files on your source drive exactly as
they exist at that time.
The OneTouch button may not function when Retrospect
Express is already running. To correct the problem, from the
File pull-down menu in Retrospect, select the Exit
(Windows) or Quit (Macintosh) option. After Retrospect
Express has stopped running, the Maxtor OneTouch button
will operate.
Only the current versions of your files are saved. Backup
copies made with the default Maxtor OneTouch feature
does not keep earlier versions of files you have deleted since
the last time you pressed the Maxtor OneTouch button.
Any files that are currently open are not saved, so close any
files you wish copied.
You may customize Retrospect Express to create backup
copies of your files which will include revisions made on a
daily basis.
Your hardware and software installation is now complete. See
“Using Your Drive” on page 19 for information on using your
drive for common applications and on using Retrospect Express
to make copies of your important files and restore copied files.
