[. . . ] The default name is "Backup Set A. " You can use the default name or create your own. The name you use will later be assigned to your mini Pal. For example, if you name the Backup Set "My Backups", the name of your mini Pal will be "1-My Backups. " The "1" indicates that the mini Pal is the first disk in the Backup Set. If you were to add additional disks to this Backup Set they would be named "2-My Backups", "3-My Backups" etc. You will then see the Choose a folder widow, asking you to select a location where Retrospect Express will save the catalog file for your Backup Set. The catalog file is the file that Retrospect Express uses to keep track of the files in the Backup Set. The default location is the FIGURE 16 - 58 - - 59 - 20. In the Scripts window you will now see the script Retrospect Button Backup (Backup). If this is the first time performing this Backup operation, Retrospect Express will ask you to select a disk for the Backup Set. A window will appear with a list of available drives. If the listing simply says "Removable Disk" expand the selection by clicking on the arrow to the left of the listing, and you will see the name of the volume. Make sure you select the listing for the mini Pal, then click Proceed. You will get an alert asking "Really erase the disk?" WHEN PREPARING A DISK THAT IS TO BE INCLUDED IN A BACKUP SET, RETROSPECT FIRST ERASES THE DISK. FOR THIS REASON IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SELECT THE CORRECT DISK. The disk will be erased and prepared for use by Retrospect Express. Once the mini Pal is ready, Retrospect Express will run the Backup. When the Backup is complete, Retrospect Express will quit automatically. From now on, whenever you want to backup your files, simply press the PushButtonTM. Retrospect Express will launch, automatically perform a Backup, and then quit. Install Retrospect Express 5. 1 for Mac OS 9 and pre-OS 10. 1. 5 1. Save all work you are currently working on and restart your computer. Insert the AcomData Software CD disk into your CD drive. If the CD does not open automatically, double-click on the CD icon.
