BACKING UP AND RETRIEVING FILES – 40
backup, enter Time Machine to restore files, or open the Time Machine Preferences
screen:
Time Machine begins backing up your files. The first backup may take some time, but
subsequent backups are faster because Time Machine only backs up new or changed
items. A status bar displays the progress of the backup:
Time Machine backs up your computer every hour and keeps the following backup sets:
• Every hour for 24 hours
• Every day for the past month
• Weekly until the My Book Live Duo drive is full.
Note: If a backup is interrupted, for example, if the computer goes into sleep mode,
or the My Book Live Duo is disconnected, it will resume automatically once
the computer is available.
If you change the name of the My Book Live Duo, previously set Time
Machine backups delay or fail. To fix the problem, resume backing up by
re-selecting the drive in the Time Machine Preferences screen.
To see information such as available capacity and the date and time of the oldest, latest,
and next backup, select Open Time Machine Preferences on the Time Machine
drop-down menu:
