File System Requirement If your system disk is a FAT32 file system instead of the standard NTFS file system (for example, if you upgraded your PC to Windows XP or 2003 from an earlier operating system), when you install the Mirra software, you see this message: Figure 1~1 NTFS File System Warning Because your computer is not using NTFS, the Volume Shadow Copy Service is not available. As a result, although your Mirra will function, the Mirra software cannot back up files opened and locked by an application such as Outlook. Once those files have been closed, Mirra can back them up. If you wish, you can upgrade your system partition to NTFS using a built in Windows tool called Convert (see the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support. microsoft.com/?kbid=307881). Network Requirements Your Personal Server must be connected to a router or hub with an open Ethernet port. If you have only one computer and connect to the Internet with a broadband modem, you must install a router or a hub so that your Personal Server and your computer can share the same Internet connection. If you have a different configuration, see Setting Up a Single Computer or Setting Up Multiple Computers for further details on connecting your Personal Server to your computer. Note: If you have a wide area network (WAN) that uses a router to bridge different subnets, you can use your Personal Server only with computers connected to the same subnet.

Mirra Manual for Windows
Release 2.2

File System Requirement
If your system disk is a FAT32 file system instead of the standard NTFS file
system (for example, if you upgraded your PC to Windows XP or 2003 from an
earlier operating system), when you install the Mirra software, you see this
message:
Figure 1~1
NTFS File System Warning
Because your computer is not using NTFS, the Volume Shadow Copy Service is not
available. As a result, although your Mirra will function, the Mirra software cannot
back up files opened and locked by an application such as Outlook. Once those files
have been closed, Mirra can back them up.
If you wish, you can upgrade your system partition to NTFS using a built in Windows
tool called
Convert
(see the Microsoft Knowledge Base at
http://support.
microsoft.com/?kbid=307881)
.
Network Requirements
Your Personal Server must be connected to a router or hub with an open Ethernet
port. If you have only one computer and connect to the Internet with a broadband
modem, you must install a router or a hub so that your Personal Server and your
computer can share the same Internet connection. If you have a different
configuration, see
Setting Up a Single Computer
or
Setting Up Multiple Computers
for further details on connecting your Personal Server to your computer.
Note:
If you have a wide area network (WAN) that uses a router to bridge different subnets, you
can use your Personal Server only with computers connected to the same subnet.
