On-Demand Backups

Computers (Windows only)
NTI Shadow is the backup software you installed during
the Setup Wizard. During installation, the Setup Wizard
creates a default backup job with the "On Demand" option
selected. (The default backup job also runs automatically.)
If you have backup jobs with the "On Demand" option
selected, then you can use the on-demand backup
feature of the Media Hub; for more information, refer to
NTI Shadow, page 33.
NOTE: Your computer(s) must be powered on
for the jobs to run.
For the Media Hub (NMH300 Series), you can press the
back up button on the front panel to initiate backup jobs.
For the Media Hub with LCD (NMH400 Series), you can use
the LCD menu to initiate backup jobs; refer to Backup,
page 37.
USB Storage Devices
Both models of the Media Hub support direct connection
of USB storage devices. You can use the Media Browser to
import media files; refer to Devices, page 20.
When you connect a USB storage device to the Media Hub
with LCD (NMH400 Series), the LCD menu will ask if you
want to import media files; click the OK button to confirm.
You can also use Windows Explorer or the Finder to access
the USB storage device. Then you can copy files to the
Media Hub. Refer to Copy-and-Paste, page 12.
Memory Cards
Only the Media Hub with LCD (NMH400 Series) supports
direct connection of memory cards.
When you insert a memory card, the LCD menu will ask
if you want to import media files; click the OK button to
confirm.
You can use the Media Browser to import media files; refer
to Devices, page 20.

Automatic Backup of Computers
(Windows only)
NTI Shadow is the backup software you installed during
the Setup Wizard. During installation, the Setup Wizard
creates a default backup job, which runs automatically.
Media Hub
Ways to Use the Media Hub
(The default backup job also enables the "On Demand"
option.)
Default Backup Job
The Setup Wizard creates a default backup job that backs
up specific files in the My Documents folder.
These files include the following file types: document
(.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .pdf, .ppt, .txt, .htm, etc.) and .pptx.
The backup files are saved to the \backup\<Computer_
Name>\Documents folder on the Media Hub and are
organized by date. You can change the default backup job
created by the Setup Wizard; for example, you can back up
additional folders on your computer.
Additional Backup Jobs
You can set up additional, automatic backup jobs. For
instructions, refer to Create Backup Job, page 33.
