Macintosh Backup

Backup software for Windows PCs is available on your software disk, included with your MiniStation. See your software CD for documentation on installing and using that product. Many other commercial backup solutions from third parties also work perfectly with the MiniStation.

Apple offers a Backup Utility to OS X users who have purchased a .Mac account. This is not a Buffalo product, but if you have .Mac, the following directions may be helpful:

Connect the MiniStation hard drive to your Mac and make sure it is mounted on the desktop.

From your Applications folder, open the application Backup.

By default, the user idisk is selected as the backup destination. To change this to the MiniStation, click the Set button and then the Create button.
