Synchronizing information

Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your device or your
computer) is automatically updated in the other. No need to enter information twice.
You can synchronize in one of two ways:
Full sync Press the sync button on the USB sync cable to synchronize all information in your
device's program memory, as well as all sync items on the hard drive. Full sync also backs up any
files or folders on your hard drive that are not sync items to your computer.
File sync (Windows only) Use the sync commands in the LifeDrive Manager window to
synchronize a single sync item, a group of sync items, or all sync items on your device's drive.
Sync items can be individual files or entire folders, including subfolders. You cannot synchronize
info in program memory using the LifeDrive Manager window.
