Starting a Backup

To start a backup at any time, select Back Up Now on the drop-down menu.

Restoring Backed-up Items

You may sometimes want to restore files and other items backed up on the My Book
World Edition drive. For example, you may have lost a file, or you want to see files
from a week ago. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or if your
system crashes, your entire hard drive.

To restore backed-up items to your hard drive:

1. Open the window on your computer where you want the item restored. For

example, if you are restoring a document, open the Documents folder. (If you are
restoring an item on your desktop, you do not need to open a window.)

2. Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock or select Enter Time Machine from

the drop-down menu.

All of your backups display in a cascade, with the most recent backup in the front.
