BounceBack Express backup software
BounceBack Express allows you to automatically
copy files from your hard drive to your external drive.
It supports Windows 98SE/2000/XE and Macintosh
OS X. For more details about BounceBack Express,
see the user's manual on the Seagate Extra Value CD.
Before you install BounceBack Express
• Disable all virus-protection programmes.
• For Windows 2000 or XP users in a corporate
environment, log on as a local administrator. Check
with your system administrator for details.
• For Macintosh OS users in a corporate environment,
log on as a user who has administrative rights to all
drives that are involved in the backup process (which,
in this case, means your internal drive and your new
external Seagate drive). You must do this because
BounceBack Express for Mac OS X copies only those
files that a logged-in user can access.
• If you are backing up to an external device, make
sure the external device is connected to and working
properly with your operating system.
• Disconnect all other external storage devices (for
example, hard disc drives, DVD, CDR, MP3 players,
memory card readers, and so forth) that are not
involved in the backup.

• For dual-interface kits, you must use the same
interface for all backups that you use for the original
BounceBack Express installation. For example,
if you install BounceBack Express while your drive
is connected to your computer's USB interface, you
must use the USB interface for subsequent backups.
• For Macintosh users with dual-interface kits, you
must use the FireWire interface if you want to use
the pushbutton backup feature.
