your documents, emails, settings, or other digital assets. With its 
ease of use, you can schedule and customize the type of backup 
you create. The Genie and Intego programs are ideal for creative 
professionals, and users can easily find previous versions of their 
documents and restore them. With computer recovery options, 
users will be able to restore their configuration and to go right 
back to work in the event of a disaster with their workstation. It’s 
easy to back up directly from your Mac with the native solution, 
since the 2big Quadra is compatible with Time Machine

Versatile and Space-Saving

Designed with a sturdy aluminum body by Neil Poulton, the LaCie 
2big Quadra easily integrates into any Mac or PC environment. 
With versatile configurations such as upright, horizontal, stacked 
with other drives, or rack-mounted, it offers significant space saving 
abilities. Thanks to its FireWire bus, it can be daisy-chained with 
fewer cables connected to your computer, and offers a near-limitless 
storage capacity when connected to other hard disks.
