Archiving Files
Archive is another type of backup you can do with Retrospect
Express. Note that using this function will permanently remove
files from the source drive and place them on the destination drive.
If your destination drive is lost or damaged, you will have lost your
only copy of these files.
Can I do other types of backup?
Yes. Using Retrospect Express, you can also create a script to back
up multiple revisions of each file or to back up multiple drives or
folders to a single backup set. This is the second type of backup
you can create and customize. To access files contained in the
backup set, use Retrospect Express.

Restoring Files
It is easy to restore files that have been backed up using the
Maxtor OneTouch feature.
To restore files:
1. Select the drive containing the copy of your files.
2. Open the Retrospect Backup folder and then the folder
that contains your backup copy.
The folder is named ‘Backup copy of
your_disk_name’
(Only the first 9 characters of this name will be used).
