exit from the application and the System Tray icon disappears. However, we
recommend for two reasons that you close the Mirra application screen on your
desktop when you’re not using it, but that you not exit from the application so that
the Mirra icon remains visible in the System Tray:
1. When the Mirra icon is not visible in your System Tray, you’re unable to tell if
the Mirra service stops working for some reason. If the System Tray icon turns
from its customary red to gray, your service has stopped working and your
folders are no longer being backed up. (If this happens, contact Technical
Support at http://support.mirra.com. )
2. If the Mirra icon is not visible in your System Tray, popup messages do not
appear and Mirra is unable to notify you of a problem. (However, the messages
are stored and displayed in the Alerts field on the Status screen the next time
you open the application.).
File and Folder Icons
In addition to the icons on your desktop and in your System Tray, a
Mirra icon is stamped in the lower left corner of most backed up files
and folders (although some special Windows folders may not display
the icon). These icons appear only when your computer is connected
to your Personal Server. If you use a laptop and disconnect it from your network,
the icons disappear. However, all backed up files and folders remain on your Mirra.
If the Mirra icons on your backed up folders suddenly disappear, this indicates that
the Mirra service has stopped.
Hiding the File and Folder Icons
By default, a Mirra icon is displayed on backed up files and folders. You have the
option of hiding these icons if you wish:
Step 1: In the System Tray, right-click the Mirra
icon.
