Backing Up your Files The Seagate Mirra Sync and Share Personal Server continuously backs up your files and folders while you work as long as it's turned on. When you back up a folder, all files and subfolders within that folder are also automatically backed up. Note: The Mirra Sync and Share Personal Server is designed to run in the background, so you can keep working during the initial backup if you choose. The initial backup takes roughly 20 minutes per GB of data, because all your selected folders are being backed up at once. Subsequent backups take less time. Try out the Mirra backup process. If you'd like to get a feel for how a Mirra backup works before you begin backing up folders from your computer, create a folder on your desktop named "test" and copy a few files into it. Then follow the steps below to back it up. Once you're comfortable using Mirra's backup feature, delete the test folder and begin the initial backup of your folders. Step 1: Select folders for backup. a. On the Backup & Restore screen, click New backup or Recommended backups on the Backup Tasks menu. Clicking New backup launches a window that allows you to browse to the folder you want to back up (Figure 1). Figure 1 2 Backup
