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.
Set Automatic Restore Points
1. Click Set automatic restore points.
2. Select an Automatic Restore Point Interval (by default the
interval is 24 hours). Move the slider to select the amount
of disk space used on the OneTouch III Mini Edition for
available restore points (by default, the value is 12%).
3. Click Apply.
NOTE: Decreasing the percentage of disk space used may
reduce the number of available restore points.
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.
To manually create a restore point:
1. From the OneTouch Manager, click the Rollback button.
2. Click Create a restore point of my current system. The
Rollback: Create Restore Point window is displayed. In
the field provided, enter a name for your restore point.
3. Click Create. A window displays that the Creation of your
restore point is in progress. When finished, you will be
notified that the restore point has been created.
4. Click OK to return to the Rollback menu.

Rolling Back Your System
You may select a date in the past and a restore point to
restore.
1. From the OneTouch Manager, click the Rollback button.
2. Click Restore my computer to a previous state. Select a
date and a restore point.
3. Click Next. A Rollback screen will display the selected
restore point.
NOTE: Save all files and close all open programs (other
than the OneTouch Manager) before continuing.
4. Click 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.
1. From the OneTouch Manager, click on the Rollback
button.
2. Click Undo my last system rollback system restore. A
Rollback: Undo screen will display.
NOTE: Save all files and close all open programs (other
than the OneTouch Manager) before continuing.
3. Click Undo.
During the rollback-undo process, your computer will
shut down. When your computer reboots, the rollback will
be complete and your system will return to its previous
state prior to your last rollback.
Automatic Restore Points
By default, a restore point will happen every 24 hours (or
when it has been configured via Set Automatic Restore
Points).
To Turn Automatic Restore Points Off
1. Click the Rollback button. Then click the Off button in the
upper right corner of the Rollback screen. Automatic
Restore Points is now Off.

Maxtor Encryption
What is Encryption?
Encryption modifies a file, using a secret code, so that it is
unreadable until you unlock (or decrypt) it by entering a
special password.
Encryption is the easiest way to prevent other people from
opening your confidential files.
To Encrypt a File
1. Right-click on a file you wish to encrypt. From the pop-up
menu, select Encrypt/Decrypt.
PAGE 13
MAXTOR ONETOUCH III MINI EDITION WINDOWS INSTALLATION
NOTE: You can only encrypt one file at a time. You cannot
encrypt a folder or encrypt multiple files at once.
2. Enter a password for your file.
Password Requirements
– Must be between 8 and 64 characters in length.
– Must contain both letters and numbers.
– Can contain any printable characters, including spaces.
3. In the Confirm Password box, re-enter your password.
4. Click OK. At this point, the Maxtor Encryption utility
secures your file and the filename will change to
associate with the Maxtor Encryption utility.
WARNING: There is no method for recovering a lost
encryption password. Maxtor recommends that you
choose a password that is memorable and/or write down
and store you password in a safe place to help avoid such
a situation.
To Decrypt a File
1. Double-click the encrypted file.
2. Enter the password for the file.
3. Click OK. At this point, the Maxtor Encryption utility will
decrypt your file. The icon for your file will change to its
original form (without a padlock) to indicate that your file
is decrypted (or unlocked).
4. You can now open your file.
