7. Sync and Back Up Files

7.1. Back Up Your Computers – DesktopMIrror and MyBackup
HipServ DesktopMirror allows you to easily backup or synchronize files from your desktop computers to your Ethernet Disk mini. When
the file in one location changes (for example, you change some text in a document on your Personal Computer) the file is synchronized
with its copy on the Ethernet Disk mini so that the changes are reflected in both locations. Synchronization is sometimes known as repli-
cation, because that is essentially what is happening: the changed file in one location is being replicated in the other location, replacing
the out of date version.
Files you back up with DesktopMirror appear in MyBackup on your Ethernet Disk mini and are accessible in the same way that files in
your FamilyLibrary and MyLibrary are.
7.2 Back Up Your Ethernet Disk mini – MySafe
As an added layer of data safety, you can also use the MySafe application to back up the most important files on your Ethernet Disk mini
to an external USB hard drive you attach to it.
