If the system restore was successful, you should find all of the files
that you originally backed up. If not, make sure that you understand
how to back up your system using the steps outlined in Chapter 4:
'Backing up your system.' By scheduling automated backups,
you're less likely to lose your valuable files in the future.

Restoring your complete system
Macintosh OS X and 9
Before you begin, you must format your system hard drive and
install your operating system. If you had multiple partitions on your
hard drive(s), you must create and format the same number of disk
partitions. These partitions must be of equal or greater size to what
they were on your original system. For information on how to
partition and format your system drive, see the Maxtor
Knowledgebase online at: http://www.maxtorkb.com.
NOTE: Most Macintosh computers are setup at the factory with
only one partition per hard drive. If you did not have multiple
partitions on any of your hard drives, all you have to do is reformat
your hard disk(s) and re-install your Macintosh operating system.
For more information, see your Macintosh manual.
NOTE: Do not partition or reformat the Maxtor OneTouch drive that
your system backup is stored on.
Once you get your system running, reinstall Retrospect Express
using the Maxtor Install CD. See "Installing Your Drive" on page 6
in chapter 2.
