Opening a File in Windows
Copies of backed up files reside on both your computer and your Personal Server. If
the Mirra application is open on your computer, you can use it to open a file on your
computer so you can work on it in its original application (i.e. a Word document
opens in Microsoft Word
™
).
To open a file on your computer through the Mirra application and work on it in its
original application,
Step 1:
On the Backup & Restore screen, double-click the folder containing the file.
Step 2:
Select the file.
Step 3:
On the File/Folder Tasks menu, click Open in Windows.
The file opens in the application associated with it (i.e. an Excel file opens
in Excel).
Sharing a Folder
