Ez Backit pro Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Ez Backit pro! The Ez backit pro is a self-contained
backup solution for your laptop computer. Ez backit pro was created to make backup
easy for laptops, at home or on the road. The Backit pro is compatible with most
laptop computers. It is small, portable, easy to use, and can be customized to suit
your individual backup needs.
Your Ez backit pro Kit Includes:
The Ez backit pro:
Contains a 2.5” IDE laptop hard drive, with a folding PCMCIA
connector. It is a self-contained, removable hard drive that requires no
additional power outlets. The Ez backit pro installs as a Plug-and-Play
device in most Windows Operating systems.
The EZ Gig II CD-ROM:
EZ Gig II is two separate utilities, Clone EZ and Image EZ on a single CD.
Clone EZ is ideal for users who require an exact bootable clone of their hard
drive. A cloned copy is used for disaster recovery backup, or a hard drive
upgrade. Image EZ is great for users who desire a compressed image of their
entire hard drive (or partition). Since Image EZ compresses its backup, users
have enough space to keep backups from multiple dates or multiple computers.
Software Usage Conditions
The conditions for EZ Gig II software usage are described in the License
Agreement, included with this package. The supplied registration card is the
conrmation of your legal purchase and usage of EZ Gig II on your system.
Each registration card has its own unique registration number. Under current
legislation the License Agreement is considered a contract between a user (you)
and a software manufacturer (Apricorn Inc.). The contract has legal effect and its
violation may result a court examination.
Illegal use and/or distribution of this software will be prosecuted.

Before you backup
Read this manual FIRST! Make sure you are familiar with all of the Ez backit pro
procedures before you begin.
Organize a regular backup routine! Hard drive backup works best when it is done
on a regular schedule, so take a moment to come up with a plan that works best for
you. A recommended backup routine might be:
• Run a full backup (using Clone EZ) at the end of each month.
• Perform weekly backups (using Image EZ).
Cleanup the drive! It’s also a good idea to combine your backups with these other
important maintenance tasks:
• Clean up any le-system errors by running Windows ScanDisk (or a
similar disk cleanup utility) on your internal hard drive before you run
backups.
• Check with the laptop manufacturer for any BIOS updates. Most BIOS
updates are available-for-download on the manufacturers’ support
website. If you nd a BIOS update for your laptop, it should be
installed before running backup.

Hardware installation:
Ez backit pro will install as a “plug-and-play” removable hard drive in Windows
98SE/ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. These operating systems already
contain “built-in” device drivers that will work with Ez backit pro. No additional
driver les are required. Depending on your system and OS, you may have to
install the hardware device drivers using the “Add New Hardware” option inside the
Windows Control Panel:
Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME:
During the “Add New Hardware” installation process, the Wizard
should detect the Ez backit pro as a new ATA device. Windows will
install a “Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller” as the device
driver.
When installed correctly, you should see this new driver listed under
“Hard Disk Controllers” in the Windows “Device Manager” screen.
Windows 2000:
During the “Add New Hardware” installation process, the Wizard
should detect the Ez backit pro as an ATA device. Windows will install
a “PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI Controller” as the device driver.
When installed correctly, you should see this new driver listed under
“IDE/ATAPI Controllers” in the Windows 2000 “Device Manger”
screen.
Once the device drivers are installed, the EZ-Backit Hard Drive will appear as an
additional hard drive in Windows “My Computer” (If you have already used the EZ-
GIG Drive-Copy, you should see that the Ez backit pro already contains the same
les as your internal drive). Under Windows 98SE/ME, 2000, and XP, the Ez backit
pro is a “hot-swappable” device. You can insert the Ez backit pro connector while
the laptop is powered on, and Windows will automatically detect the new drive.
Remember: use the Windows “PCMCIA Card Services” (98SE/ME) or the “Unplug
and Eject Hardware” (Win2000 and XP) to stop access to the card before physically
removing it!
