Emergency Backup when Traveling

FireFly User Guide
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.
Copy Files and Data Frequently to FireFly
If you are generating new files and data while traveling, frequently create backups to
FireFly. You can copy entire folders from your laptop to FireFly.
Recovery
If your laptop malfunctions, your file and data is safe; everything is stored on FireFly.
If you are on the road, all you need is access to a computer that has a FireWire
connection to retrieve your files.
Archive
When you get back to the office, copy the files from the FireFly to a CD-R or CD-RW
using SmartDisk’s FireWire Portable CD-R/W. The CD then becomes the long term
archive.
Tip
Macintosh users can automate this process using the
CopyAgent
application found on the FireFly Software Installation CD.
Use FireFly as an
emergency backup device
when you are on the
road.
