Restoring Folders After a Crash If your computer crashes, you can restore your backed up folders from your Personal Server to your recovered or new computer. After you install and set up the Mirra software on your recovered or new computer and open the Backup & Restore screen, all your backed up folders are listed as residing on your previous computer. In the Backup Tasks menu, you see the Restore to this computer option. When you restore your folders to your new computer, they exist on the new computer as static copies and are no longer backed up to your Personal Server. You must again select these folders for backup. After you've done so, two copies of each folder reside on your Mirra. You can delete the old copies to avoid confusion and redundancy. Note: Verify that your folders have indeed been completely restored and backed up before deleting the static copies. Mirra Manual for Windows Release 2.2 75

Restoring Folders After a Crash
If your computer crashes, you can restore your backed up folders from your
Personal Server to your recovered or new computer. After you install and set up
the Mirra software on your recovered or new computer and open the
Backup &
Restore
screen, all your backed up folders are listed as residing on your previous
computer. In the
Backup Tasks
menu, you see the
Restore to this computer
option.
When you restore your folders to your new computer, they exist on the new
computer as static copies and are no longer backed up to your Personal Server.
You must again select these folders for backup. After you’ve done so, two copies
of each folder reside on your Mirra. You can delete the old copies to avoid confusion
and redundancy.
Note:
Verify that your folders have indeed been completely restored and backed up before
deleting the static copies.
