12. Click OK.
The EasyScript Backup window will open and Retrospect will
start copying files to your OneTouch drive.
Normal backup may take a long time the first time. Each
time after that, it will take less time. This is because
Retrospect compares the files in your actual system to
the backup version and only copies new files or files that
have been modified since the last backup. For more
information on backup strategies, see the Retrospect
online help system, by clicking question mark icon in the
Retrospect application.
When the backup finishes, you should see the message:
'Execution completed successfully.'
If your system backup was successful, you can exit
Retrospect.
13. Under the File menu, choose Exit.
When you exit Retrospect, a window may appear telling you
script is'next for automatic execution.'
Make sure that the drive you plan to use for the next backup
(your OneTouch drive) is connected to your computer and
ready. If you are not sure, you can click the Check Media
button to have Retrospect check for you.
Note: If you get the message that 'the configuration isn't
ready,' click Don't Quit, make sure that your OneTouch drive
is connected and turned on and quit Retrospect again.
Congratulations. You've created an automated backup script and
have done your first system backup.
