3.Make sure Execute now is selected and click Execute.

Retrospect will now start scanning your system, the Immediate Backup window will open and the backup process will begin.

The first backup may take some time depending on the number of files in your computer. Each subsequent backup will take less time. This is because Retrospect compares the files in your actual system to the backup version and only copies new files or files that have been modified since the last backup. For more information on backup strategies, see the Retrospect Express User’s Guide.

When the backup is complete, the message: ‘Execution completed successfully’ should appear.

If your system backup was successful, you can quit Retrospect.

For OS 9: Go to the File menu and select Quit.

For OS X: Go to the Retrospect Express menu and select Quit

Retrospect Express.

When you quit Retrospect, a window will appear: ‘Script EasyScript Backup is next for automatic execution.’ This is a reminder to make sure that the drive you plan to use for the next backup (your Maxtor OneTouch II drive) is connected to your computer and ready. If you are not sure, you can click the Check Media button to have Retrospect check for you.
