FireFly User Guide

Connecting Multiple Drives

Use a USB hub to connect several FireFly drives (Project Drives) to your computer
simultaneously.

Backup Frequently

Periodically back up the contents of your FireFly to your desktop computer hard disk.
Or, backup to a CD-R or CD-RW using the SmartDisk FireWire Portable CD-R/W.

Archive

Once a project is completed, archive the contents of the associated Project Drive to a
CD or other storage device. Delete the files from the Project Drive so it can be used
for a new project.

Emergency Backup when Traveling

Use your FireFly to back up important files when you are travelling. FireFly can then
be used to recover the file if your laptop malfunctions.

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.

Use FireFly as an

emergency backup device

when you are on the

road.
