Using Mirra with Mac OSX Fast User Switching
When users who share a computer change user accounts via fast user switching,
the Mirra application remains open on both users’ desktops. Mirra continues to
back up all users’ files. Once files have been selected for backup by any user on a
computer connected to a Personal Server, those files are continuously backed up
regardless of who is logged on at any given moment (and even when no one is logged
on and the application is closed).
Setting Up Multiple Computers with One Mirra
In order to back up two or more computers to a Mirra, you must install the Mirra
software and enter your Mirra license key on each computer. Each user on each
computer must then create a separate Mirra Web Account in order to remotely
access and share folders. Both Macs and PCs can be connected to the same Mirra.
