MY PASSPORT FOR MAC AND MY PASSPORT SE FOR MAC USER MANUAL In the Content Gauge for your computer's hard drive, all of your files that are available for backup are shown against a blue background in categories that are based on the following folders on your computer: • Music • Movies • Pictures • Mail • Documents • Other Each category includes all of the files in the represented folder except the Other category, which includes all of the files in all other folders on your computer. Note that: • The System category, shown against a dark gray background, includes all of your operating system files that are not available for backup. Files that are not backed up include system files, program files, applications, and working files. • The Retrieved category, also shown against a dark gray background, shows the files that you have retrieved from a prior backup. They, too, are not available for backup. • Hovering the pointer over a category shows the number of files in the category. In the Content Gauge for your My Passport drive, the Additional Files category includes all of the files shown in the used space portion of your drive properties. This space is not available for backups.
