Identifying your System Environment
You will notice that your computers desktop will look the same as if you were to start your computer
normally. Your desktop may load at a slower speed now that you are booting your system via a USB
connection. Once your desktop is fully loaded the BounceBack software will inform you that you have
started from your backup device. This balloon message will appear for a few seconds but you may also
hover over the Backup Monitor to verify that you have started your computer from the USB backup drive.
