Doing your first backup 1. Open Retrospect Express (if not already open). The Retrospect Express Directory window will open. This is a reminder to make sure that the drive you plan to use for the next backup (your Maxtor OneTouch II drive) is connected to your computer and ready. If you are not sure, you can click the Check Media button to have Retrospect check for you. 2. Click the Run drop-down menu at the top of the screen and select EasyScript Backup. 2 The EasyScript Backup window will appear. 3. Make sure Execute now is selected and click Execute. Retrospect will now start scanning your system, the Immediate Backup window will open and the backup process will begin. Normal backup may take a long time, the first time. Each time after that, it will take less time. This is because Retrospect compares the files in your actual system to the backup version and only copies new files or files that have been modified since the last backup. For more information on backup strategies, see the Express User's Guide. When the backup is complete, the message: 'Execution completed successfully' should appear. If your system backup was successful, you can quit Retrospect. For OS 9: Go to the File menu and select Quit. For OS X: Go to the Retrospect Express menu and select Quit Retrospect Express. When you quit Retrospect, a window will appear telling you: 'Script EasyScript Backup is next for automatic execution.' Installing Your Drive 36
