FireFly User Guide 

Copy Files and Data Frequently to FireFly

If you are generating new files and data while traveling, frequently create backups to 
FireFly. You can copy entire folders from your laptop to FireFly.

Recovery

If your laptop malfunctions, your file and data is safe; everything is stored on FireFly. 
If you are on the road, all you need is access to a computer that has a USB connection 
to retrieve your files.

Archive

When you get back to the office, copy the files from the FireFly to a CD-R or CD-RW 
using SmartDisk’s FireWire Portable CD-R/W. The CD then becomes the long term 
archive.

Transporting Large Files

Use FireFly to transport large files (such as graphics) to other computers in your office. 
This is useful if you cannot attach the file to an email or network connections are slow 
or not available.
