Getting the most from your Maxtor OneTouchTM drive What is Maxtor OneTouch? The Maxtor OneTouch drive is the easy way to make backup copies of your files. [. . . ] Refer to the Retrospect Express User's Guide (located on your installation CD) for detailed information about creating custom scripts and backup sets. How does the Maxtor OneTouch drive work? Each time you touch the button, the Maxtor OneTouch drive opens up Dantz® Retrospect® Express backup software and makes a copy of the files on your source drive exactly as they exist. Keep in mind that: · Only the current versions of your files are copied. The Maxtor OneTouch drive does not keep backup copies made in earlier sessions. · If you delete files from your source drive and then push the button, those same files will also be deleted from your Maxtor OneTouch drive. · Any files that are currently open will not be copied to the Maxtor OneTouch drive. Close any files you want copied before pressing the button. Can I customize the Maxtor OneTouch drive? Yes, the Maxtor OneTouch drive is very flexible. You can customize its behavior to make three different types of backup. The default type is a duplicate backup (outlined in "How does the Maxtor OneTouch drive work?"). Using Retrospect Express, you can even customize the how the duplicate replaces files on the destination drive. If you modify the destination location for the Maxtor OneTouch script or any other duplicate script in Retrospect Express, it will default to "replace the entire contents" of the selected drive or folder. This will erase all files on the destination drive / folder and will only copy the selected files from the source drive / folder. It is strongly recommended that you: · Select the option to "Replace Corresponding Files" (see Figure 1) · Define a folder on the destination drive dedicated to your duplicate backups Can I archive my files? Yes, archiving is the third type of backup type with you can do with Retrospect Express. Note that using this function will permanently removes files from the source drive and place them on the destination drive. If your destination drive is lost or damaged, you will have lost your only copy of these files I pressed the button and nothing happened. What do I do? If Retrospect Express software was running when you pressed the button, you need to close it. From the File pull-down menu in Retrospect Express, select the Exit (Windows) or Quit (Macintosh) option.
