device.

device and can safely eject the device. Once ejected, the device will show as inactive.
Computers Backup
You can configure the ICY BOX to be the destination for Windows Backup for the PC,
Windows Vista and/or Mac OSX TimeMachine backups.
By enabling this feature a special hidden section on the ICY BOX is assigned to contain
the backed up files. This section is not visible to the user because the contents are not
usable by the user directly and can only be used for restoring backups.
Vista Backup users can either choose to go through the setup tutorial after installing the
Desktop Applications or at a later time by selecting ‘Vista Backup’ in the Stora Desktop
Applications program group. The walkthrough provides detailed step-by-step instructions
on setting up Vista Backup.
TimeMachine backup support is available for Max OS/X 10.5 and upwards.
TimeMachine backup users can setup TimeMachine backups by selecting ‘Configure
TimeMachine’ from Applications->ICY BOX Desktop Applications. The walkthrough
provides detailed step-by-step instructions on setting up TimeMachine backups.
