MyBackup

MyBackup contains the files that are uploaded to your Ethernet
disk via the DesktopMirror application. You can manage files in
MyBackup just as you would in FamilyLibrary or MyLibrary.

7.2. MySafe

Use MySafe to back up the files stored on the Ethernet disk to
an attached USB storage device. This way, if files on the Ethernet
disk are damaged or accidentally deleted, you can restore them
to their original locations.
There are three main steps to using MySafe:
✦

Connecting an external USB hard drive

✦
Backing up files to the external USB hard drive
✦
Restoring files to the Ethernet disk (if necessary)
✦
See section 9.4.2. Managing MySafe USB External Hard Drive
for information on disconnecting and formatting your MySafe
drive.
7.2.1. Connecting an External USB Hard Drive
Before you can back up files, you need to connect a hard drive to
your Ethernet disk via the USB port on the back. We recommend
that you use a hard drive that is USB 2.0 compatible.
TeChNICAl NOTe: The Ethernet disk is not compatible with
external hard drives using HFS+ (Macintosh) format. Connect a
drive formatted in NTFS. Refer to your external hard drive's user
documentation for information about the file system format.
To connect an external hard drive:
1. Make sure your Ethernet disk is turned on and connected to
your network.
2. Turn on the external USB hard drive.
3. Connect the external hard drive's USB cable to the USB port
on the back of the Ethernet disk, just like you would connect
the external hard drive to your computer (Fig. 7.2.1-A).
4. Confirm that the drive is properly connected. Log in and click
on the Administer HipServ™
Storage under System. If the USB External Storage page dis-
plays the message in Figure 7.2.1-B, click the refresh button.
