FireFly User Guide

To ensure you are working on the master file, always edit and save the files directly to
FireFly - the Master Drive. Do this whether you are at home or at work. This means
you do not have to wonder if you are working on the right file or database; the content
on FireFly is always the latest version.

Backup FireFly Frequently

Since this drive is the Master Drive, ensure your files and data can be recovered by
making frequent backups. Copy essential files and data to removable media (such as
CDs) or the hard drive on your home and work computer. Although not common,
electrostatic discharge and shock (for example, dropping it on the floor) can damage
your FireFly.

Disconnecting

Remember to properly unplug FireFly from the computer. For more information, see
Chapter 3.

Tip

Macintosh users can automate this process using the CopyAgent
application found on the FireFly Software Installation CD.

Tip

Windows users can automate this process using the Retrospect
Express Backup
application found on the FireFly Software
Installation CD.
