Toshiba Backup software 27 ❖ You can designate any storage device connected to your computer (including hard drives, solid state drives, and flash media) as either the source or the destination device. For example, you can back up your computer's internal storage drive to the Toshiba external drive or vice-versa, or you can back up data on another external storage drive to a thumb drive. External storage drive Toshiba drive Thumb drive (Sample Image) Backing up data from one drive to another ❖ The storage devices you designate can be internal or external devices. For Sync tasks: ❖ Any two storage devices connected to your computer can be synchronized. The devices you are synchronizing can be internal or external devices. ❖ You can synchronize two folders, rather than all of the data on two devices. ❖ A "Sync set" is the term used for the two devices or folders you are synchronizing. ❖ Each storage device or folder in a Sync set is referred to as a "target." ❖ The software uses bidirectional synchronization. When a Sync is run, the software searches both storage devices simultaneously for new or modified files and updates each device so that it contains the latest files. ❖ Because bidirectional synchronization is used, it doesn't matter which device you designate as the "first target" and which device you designate as the "second target." In either order, the result is the same.
