How to run automatic backups for important
files
Your HP Media Vault is bundled with NTI Shadow software. NTI Shadow is an easy-to-use application that lets
you run automatic backups for the important files and folders on your PC. You can back up any data you want,
including photo, music, video, and financial files. Using NTI Shadow will not disturb your computer use because
it works transparently in the background.
Note: If you have already created a backup job and wish to modify it, see Modify a backup job .
You can either back up your files/folders every time they change or schedule a specific time for backups.
Note: If you wish to back up an entire drive, see Create a drive backup .
To back up important files/folders:
1. Start the software:
a. Double-click the HP Media Vault desktop icon.
b. Click the Backup tab.
c. Click Back up your important files.
2. If the HP Easy Backup screen appears, click Custom Selection, and then Start. Otherwise,
continue to the next step.
Note: HP Easy Backup provides a way for you to easily backup commonly used folders such as My
Music. For more information, see

3. In the NTI Shadow screen, click Create Backup Job.
4. To back up an entire folder:

In the Backup job wizard, click the checkbox next to the folder that you want to back up. A
blue checkbox next to the folder indicates that you have selected to backup the entire contents of
that folder.
