The media backup storage device is designed to backup a single computer at a time. If
the media backup storage device already holds a backup for a computer but you would
like to use it to backup a different computer, you must first reset it.
Resetting will delete the photos and movies backed up on the media backup storage
device itself, but will not affect any photos on your computer. Before resetting the media
backup storage device, ensure that you have a copy of your photos on your computer.
Note: If you reinstall your operating system on the computer that the media backup
storage device holds a backup for, the media backup storage device treats this reinstalled
computer as a new computer. To back up photos on a computer with a reinstalled
operating system, you must first reset the media backup storage device.
