Caution
The SmartStor and SmartSYNC cannot restore a failed boot drive
in your PC. However, you can use the SmartStor to save your
system backup file. See your Windows documentation for
information about system backups.
Note
• Windows does not allow SmartSYNC to access protected
folders and files. If you want to perform a backup, you must
first disable protection on your folders and files.
• If you want to run the Windows Backup or Restore Wizard,
access the SmartStor as a network drive. See “Setting up a
Network Drive on a Windows PC” on page 21.
