Backing Up Your Files - Seagate Mirra Personal Server Getting Started Manual

Backing Up Your Files

Mirra continuously backs up your files and folders while
you work as long as it's turned on. When you back up a
folder, all files and subfolders within that folder are also
automatically backed up.
Note: The Mirra Personal Server is designed to run in the back-
ground, so you can keep working during the initial backup if you
choose. The initial backup takes roughly 20 minutes per GB of data,
because all your selected folders are being backed up at once.
Subsequent backups take less time.

comfortable using Mirra's backup feature, delete the test
folder and begin the initial backup of your folders.
