OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro "Quad Interface"
Backup Software
For Mac OS X, we have included Prosoft Engineering's Data Backup. Data Backup
makes it easy to backup to FireWire and USB drives, network drives, CDs and even
DVDs. Make schedules so you don't need to 'think' about backing up... It does it for
you. Your drive is also fully compatible with Apple's Time Machine if you are running
Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" or later.
For PCs running Windows 2000 and later, we have included Novastor's NovaBACKUP.
Built-in support for hundreds of the most popular storage devices and a step-by-step
backup and restore wizard makes NovaBACKUP extremely easy to use.
To install and use the included backup software for either OS, please insert the in-
cluded CD and follow the installation and operation instructions on the disc.
Cloning your hard drive (making an exact copy of it):
If you want to make an exact duplicate of a hard drive, we highly recommend Mike
Bombich's donationware "Carbon Copy Cloner". It's a great tool and is included with
the bundled software CD provided with this storage solution.
Custom OS X Icons
If you wish to replace the custom OS X icon for your new hard drive, you can find
instructions and a download link on our Web site:

Using your new Storage Solution on both Macs and PCs?
MacDrive takes the guesswork out of sharing files. Whether you are transferring files be-
tween home and the office, a class room lab and your dorm room or even on the same
computer, MacDrive makes it painless.
In fact, you'll hardly know MacDrive is working.
Once installed MacDrive will automatically give you access to any Mac disk you pop into
your computer. MacDrive even puts an "apple" icon on the
Mac disk, just to keep things clear.
You can access files on the Mac disk just like you would
with a Windows formatted disk. Open files from the disk
or from within a program. Mac files automatically get the
right icons and file name extensions under both Windows
and Mac OS.
Works great with software from Microsoft, Adobe, Quark,
FileMaker, Avid, Digidesign, Corel, NewTek and more.
