LaCie Ethernet Disk RAID (Firmware version 1.4) User Manual Protecting Local Disks page 95 Specify when you want backups to occur. For example, if you want backups to occur every day, select Daily from the Recurrence list. If you want backups to occur once a week, select the day of the week from the Recurrence list. Then select the time. If you don't want backups to occur automatically, select Not Scheduled from the Recurrence list. (The Time list appears dimmed.) Backups will occur only when you start one manually (as described in section 7.3. Manually Backing Up Your Disk). Important Info: Although Windows Backup Software is specifically designed to perform backups without affecting your other computer activities, you might want to schedule backups for a time when they'll have the least impact on your system, like during lunch or after business hours (if you leave your computer running overnight). If you're protecting multiple disks or partitions, it is recommended that you schedule each backup to occur at a different time. 7. Specify whether or not to back up your disk as soon as you finish the wizard by selecting or clearing the Back up now check box,and then click Next.See Fig.6.2-E. If you clear this option, the disk will be backed up at the next scheduled time or the next time you perform a manual backup. Fig. 7.2.E Important Info: Only four backups of each protected disk or partition are saved on the Ethernet Disk RAID, so if you back up your disk every day, you'll be able to recover data from only the last four days. If you back up your disk once a week, you'll be able to recover data from four weeks ago, but the most recent backup might be as many as six days old. Important Info: Be sure to back up your disk or partition before you try to recover it using the recovery CD.
