Installing the Software and Running Your First Backup

NOTE: The Total Files and Folder count may differ from the number of files

you see in the backup due to the hidden files built into the Mac OS. For

example, each folder contains a file named “.DS_Store” which you

cannot see. Also, the backup on the hard drive may show files and

folders that will not show up if you boot from the Backup drive. These

files and folders should not be deleted or disturbed if the bootability of

the BounceBack Professional backup is to be maintained.

(Don't forget to re-enable your virus protection software if you disabled it. See the virus

protection software documentation for instructions on how to enable it.)

Checking the log after backups

A description of the backup is added to the BBLog.txt file, which is accessed by launching

the TechRepair application in the BounceBack directory, after every backup. Entries are

added to the log for files that are skipped due to permission problems or not backed up

for other reasons (like a file in use).

Unmounting an External Drive

After you’ve successfully backed up your files, select your External drive and drag it to

the Trash icon (or choose Eject from the File menu to unmount the drive.) After the

drive’s icon disappears, you can turn it off and/or disconnect it. The BounceBack software

will prompt you to connect your drive after the reminder period.

NOTE: By default, the BounceBack application will automatically launch and

initiate a backup whenever you connect a backup device. You can

change this and other settings from the BounceBack Control Center

application.
