BACKING UP AND RETRIEVING FILES – 41
Starting a Backup
To start a backup at any time, select Back Up Now on the drop-down menu:
Note: To delete Time Machine backups, use the My Book Live Duo dashboard. (See
“Managing Safepoints” on page 86.)
Retrieving Backed-Up Items
You might sometimes want to retrieve files and other items backed up on the
My Book Live Duo drive. For example, you might have lost a file, or you want to see files
from a week ago. You can retrieve individual items, multiple items, shares, or if your system
crashes, your entire hard drive.
To retrieve backed-up items to your hard drive:
1. Open the window on your computer where you want the item restored. For example, if
you are retrieving a document, open the Documents folder. (If you are restoring an item
on your desktop, you do not need to open a window.)
2. Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock, or select Enter Time Machine from the
drop-down menu:
All of your backups display in a cascade, with the most recent in front.
