RAID Settings

By default, your OneTouch III Turbo Edition is configured as a striped (RAID 0) volume. In this configuration, the OneTouch III software combines the capacity of both enclosed hard drives – giving you one large, fast disk. However, if one drive fails, you will lose all data stored.

The only drawback to a RAID 1 is the loss of disk space. A RAID 1 configuration will decrease the overall capacity of your OneTouch III Turbo Edition by 50%.

1. Launch the OneTouch Manager and click on the Settings button.

PAGE 30

MAXTOR ONETOUCH III TURBO EDITION MACINTOSH INSTALLATION

2. You will see the following:

NOTE: The space reported will vary depending on the

capacity of your OneTouch III, Turbo Edition.

WARNING: Changing the RAID configuration will erase all data on your OneTouch III, Turbo Edition. Maxtor

recommends that you backup any/all data on the OneTouch III before proceeding.

2. To continue, click Erase.

3. You will see the following:

Type the number displayed in the left field (in this example, the number is 27024- although this number is random and will vary on your system) in the right field provided.

4. If prompted,

type your User Name and Password to authenticate, then click OK to proceed.

5. Your OneTouch III, Turbo Edition will temporarily disconnect from the system.

Click OK to continue.

This process will take approximately 30 – 60 seconds, depending on the capacity of the OneTouch III, your Macintosh OS version, and the interface cable connecting the OneTouch III, Turbo Edition to your Macintosh.

6. Once the RAID has been set, you will see the following:

Click Initialize to proceed.

7. Once initialized, launch the Apple Disk Utility to format the volume.

Once formatted, your OneTouch III, Turbo Edition is setup as a mirrored RAID 1 volume.

Naming Your OneTouch III

Your untitled Maxtor OneTouch III drive appears in the same way as other drives on your desktop. Follow these steps to name the drive.

1. On your desktop, click the name of the new drive’s icon. The text will be to highlighted.

2. Enter a name (for example “Maxtor”) for your Maxtor OneTouch III and press Return.

Storing Audio

Using your computer as an audio jukebox is a very popular application. This allows you to store and play thousands of your favorite songs. You can also create and manage an audio library from your Maxtor OneTouch III.

Editing Video

Using a computer to capture and edit video recorded with a digital camcorder is quickly becoming popular. Digital video files are typically very large, using about 13 GB per hour of video content. Maxtor recommends connecting your drive using the FireWire interface for optimal results.

Playing Games

CD-ROM-based games typically run faster when they are on a hard drive rather than running from the CD. You can use your Maxtor OneTouch III to store and play CD-ROM games.

Installing Applications

You may install and run applications from your drive like other drives on your system. If you connect the drive to your system using a USB 1.1 interface, the data transfer rate is approximately 1 MB per second. Because of this, installing applications on a drive using the USB 1.1 interface is not recommended.

Many applications installed on your drive will only run on the computer where the application was installed. If you move your drive to another computer, the application may not function. Once the drive is reconnected to the computer the application was originally installed, the application will function properly.

Connecting and Disconnecting the OneTouch III

The FireWire and USB interfaces allow you to hot swap your Maxtor OneTouch III; that is, connect and disconnect the drive while the computer and your drive are turned on.

To connect the OneTouch III to your computer

1. Make sure your Maxtor OneTouch III is turned on and the light is illuminated. Connecting your computer to a drive that is not powered on can cause your computer to behave erratically or freeze.

2. Plug the FireWire or USB cable into your Maxtor OneTouch III and your computer. After a moment, the computer will recognize that your drive is connected and the drive icon will appear on your Macintosh desktop.

To disconnect the OneTouch III from your computer

From the desktop, drag your Maxtor OneTouch III icon to the Trash. The drive will disappear from the desktop. Disconnect your Maxtor OneTouch III from the computer.

Security Lock

Your new Maxtor OneTouch III includes a security locking slot on the back of the drive. The slot is compatible with most security locking cables.

Using the OneTouch III

Retrospect Express HD

Understanding Restore Points

The ﬁrst step to backing your ﬁles is to create a restore point. A restore point is simply a snapshot of your ﬁles based on a speciﬁc date in time. It contains all the ﬁles and folders you select to back up, as they exist at the time that you back up.

A restore point can be anything from a few ﬁles and folders to every ﬁle on your computer. Each time you back up, Retrospect Express HD adds a new restore point to your backup drive; thereby preserving copies of backed-up ﬁles and folders from multiple points in time. If there is not enough free disk space to add a new restore point, Retrospect Express HD automatically deletes older restore points to make room for new ones.

You can restore individual ﬁles and folders from any restore point back to your computer. You can also restore your entire computer to its state at the time a restore point was created.

Once you set up a backup, you can start it at any time by pressing the button on your Maxtor OneTouch III. You can also schedule backups to take place automatically on speciﬁc days of the week.

In the “Restoring your computer” section, later in this chapter, we will show you how to restore all the ﬁles on your computer in the event that your system is damaged or completely erased.

Opening Retrospect Express HD

You can open Retrospect Express HD from either the

Start Menu :

– Start ➔ Programs ➔ EMC Retrospect ➔ Retrospect

Express HD 1.1 From the System Tray

– Right-click the red Retrospect Express HD icon.

Running an Immediate Backup

Though comprehensive backups can be scheduled to run at predetermined times, you can launch them at any time by doing one of the following:

– Press the OneTouch button - this will launch your backup

immediately

– Right-click on the Retrospect icon located in the System

Tray and select Back up now from the pop-up menu.

– Open Retrospect Express HD and click Back up now .

PAGE

MAXTOR ONETOUCH III TURBO EDITION WINDOWS INSTALLATION

Comprehensive Backups vs. Duplicates

Retrospect Express HD can perform both backups and duplicates. Select “ Comprehensive Backup ” to set up or modify your backup settings. Select “ Duplicate ” to set up or modify your duplicate settings.

– Comprehensive Backup: Backing up your computer on a

regular basis is the best way to protect your files. When you back up, Retrospect Express HD creates a restore point and saves it on your Maxtor drive. A restore point contains all the files and folders you selected to back up, as they existed at the time of the backup.

Each time you back up, Retrospect Express HD adds a new restore point to the drive; thereby preserving copies of backed up files and folders from multiple points in time. If there is not enough free disk space to add a new restore point, Retrospect Express HD automatically deletes older restore points to make room for the new one.

You can restore individual files and folders from any restore point back to your computer. You can also restore your entire computer to its state at the time a restore point was created.

Once you set up a backup, you can initiate it at any time by pressing the OneTouch button on your Maxtor drive. You can also schedule backups to run automatically on specified days of the week.

– Duplicate: When you duplicate, Retrospect Express HD

copies the selected files and folders from your computer to the “Retrospect Duplicates” folder on your Maxtor drive.

Each time you duplicate, Retrospect Express HD replaces the entire contents of “Retrospect Duplicates”. The only files and folders available are those from the most recent duplicate. If you modified a file since the last duplicate, the older version will be lost. If you deleted a file from your computer, it will be deleted from your Maxtor drive when you duplicate.

RAID Settings

By default, your OneTouch III, Turbo Edition is configured as a striped (RAID 0) volume. In this configuration, the OneTouch III software combines the capacity of both enclosed hard drives – giving you one large, fast disk. However, if one drive fails, you will lose all data stored.

To protect your data, you can mirror (RAID 1) the drives in your OneTouch III Turbo Edition. This configuration provides you with a backup of your data. In the event of a single disk failure, your data is secured on the second drive. The only drawback to a RAID 1 is the loss of disk space. A RAID 1 configuration will decrease the overall capacity of your OneTouch III, Turbo Edition by 50%.

1. Launch the OneTouch Manager and click the Settings button.

Rollback

You can use rollback to undo changes to your computer and restore its software and settings to a previous state, based on a date in the past called a “Restore Point.” Think of a restore point as a snapshot of your system.

It's good to create a restore point if you are about to make a major change to your system, like installing new software or making major changes to your computer's settings.

Rolling your computer back to a previous restore point will not cause you to lose any of your current work, like documents, email or web browser bookmarks.

Creating a Restore Point

You may either create a restore point manually or set a regular time for a restore point to be created automatically.

Rolling Back Your System

You may select a date in the past and a restore point to restore. During the rollback process, your computer will shut down. When your computer reboots, the rollback will be complete.

Undoing a System Rollback

If, after you roll back your system, you decide that you want to go back to your previous system state, you may undo the rollback you just completed.
