Setting Backup Preferences
The Central Axis Backup feature allows you to
• Schedule the backup of selected folders
• Edit backup settings
• Launch an immediate backup
• Restore backed up files
Note: If you’re running Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4x), you cannot back up a folder whose name
contains any of these symbols:
<, >, ?, ", \, /, *, |. Apple has fixed this problem in
Leopard
(Mac OS X 10.5x).
After the initial backup, the Maxtor Central Axis Manager backs up changed files in backed
up folders on a schedule you set or when you click Back Up Now in the Backup view.
To schedule folders for backup,
Step 1. In the Settings window, click the Backup tab.
Step 2: Click the plus sign (
+) below the Folders to Back Up list to add folders for backup.
