9.9. Backing Up LaCie Ethernet
Disk Using the Built-In Backup
Engine
The LaCie Ethernet Disk uses Microsoft's NT Backup to perform
a backup of one, many, or all directories of your drive, and
can be scheduled to run every day, week or month at a prede-
termined time. The Backup utility helps you protect data from
accidental loss if your system experiences hardware or hard disk
failure. For example, you can use the Backup utility to create
a duplicate copy of the data on your hard disk. If the original
data on your hard disk is accidentally erased or overwritten, or
becomes inaccessible because of a hard disk malfunction, you
can easily restore the data from the archived copy.
