Mac users—You can use Time Machine to back up your files to GoFlex Home. See "Step 5:
Configuring Time Machine for GoFlex Home" on page 31 to get started. Refer to the Time
Machine documentation on your computer for more information. If you don't want to use Time
Machine backup software with GoFlex Home, you can use a complementary Mac version of
Memeo Instant Backup provided in a stand-alone folder on the GoFlex Home Installation CD.
Backup Performance
Depending on the amount of data you wish to back up, first-time backup of your computer to
GoFlex Home could take a significant amount of time if done wirelessly. It is recommended
that you connect an Ethernet cable from your computer directly to your router for the initial
backup.
