Setting Up Bootable Backup with the OneTouch Button

The following steps will provide you with a complete bootable backup of your Macintosh computer.

Bootable backup works with FireWire only.

When ﬁnished, you will have a backup of your entire computer, as well as the ability to start up your computer from your Maxtor OneTouch II drive.

Before you begin, make sure the Maxtor Install CD is NOT in your CD-ROM drive.

The bootable backup option requires either using the entire OneTouch II drive for the backup copy or creating a dedicated disk partition for the backup copy. If you wish to store any ﬁles on the OneTouch II drive that are not included on the system drive you plan to copy, they must be stored in another partition on the OneTouch II drive.
