Quick Start Guide
BounceBack Express
BounceBack Express
allows you to automatically
copy files from your hard drive to your external drive.
It supports Windows 2000 Pro and Macintosh OS X
(or higher).
Before you install BounceBack Express
• Disable all virus-protection programs.
• For Windows 2000 Pro or XP users in a corporate
environment, log on as a local administrator.
Check with your system administrator for details.
• For Macintosh OS X (or higher) users in a corporate
environment, log on as a user who has administra-
tive rights to all drives that are involved in the back-
up process (which, in this case, means your internal
drive and your new external Seagate drive). You
must do this because
BounceBack Express
for
Mac OS X copies only those files that a logged-in
user can access.
• If you are backing up to an external device, make
sure the external device is connected to and
working properly with your operating system.
• Disconnect all other external storage devices (for
example, hard disc drives, DVD, CDR, MP3 players,
memory card readers, and so forth) that are not
involved in the backup.
Note.

lation process, several screens will be displayed in
quick succession.

to indicate
that you agree to the terms of the License and to

Note.
BounceBack
Express
software for
Mac OS is limited to
versions 10.2 (or higher)
and only supports
FireWire (IEEE 1394a)
interface. It does not
support USB.
For dual-interface
kits, you must use
the same interface for
all backups that you
use for the original
BounceBack Express
installation. For
example, if you install
BounceBack Express
while your drive is
connected to your
computer’s USB inter-
face, you must use
the USB interface for
subsequent backups.
Note.
BounceBack
Express
software
(version 7.0 or higher)
is not backward
compatible with earlier
Seagate External Hard
Drive models. You
should only use the
software on the CD
that is provided with
the drive.
