Backup Plus—Installation and Use

Quick Start: Setting Up Your Backup Plus Portable Drive

IMPORTANT: Don’t format the drive before you use it!

The Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive is a cross-platform device—it is both Mac and PC compatible.

Upon opening the box, please verify that you have the following items in your possession before you begin:

•Backup Plus Portable Drive

•Detachable USB 3.0 Cable

Assembly

1. Remove all items from the packaging.

2. Connect the Detachable USB 3.0 Cable to the Backup Plus Portable Drive.

3. You can now connect your Backup Plus Portable Drive to your Windows PC or Mac via the USB 3.0

Cable.

Mac users, please note: When you connect your Backup Plus Portable Drive to your Mac, a prompt

will appear on the screen asking you “Do you want to use ‘Backup Plus Portable Drive’ to back up

with Time Machine?”

Because you will be using the Backup Plus Portable Drive primarily to backup and upload media to

various social media sites, we recommend that you choose “Decide Later” or “Don’t Use.”

4. Windows PC users can now skip ahead to page 7. Mac users should continue reading so that we

can guide you through a brief software install so that you can get the most out of your Backup Plus

Portable Drive.

Mac Software Setup

1. When you connect your Backup Plus Portable Drive, you will see a file in the “Seagate Backup Plus

Drive” folder titled “Mac Installer.dmg” Double-click on that file and go through the simple product

registration process.

2. Once that is complete, you will see a prompt titled “Install Seagate Backup Plus”. Keep selecting

“Continue” and later, “Agree” to proceed. You will then see a screen titled “Standard Install on…”

and the name of your local hard drive. Select “Install” to proceed. Please note that if your Mac is

password protected, you will need to enter your password to authorize the installation of the

Seagate software.

3. After the software has been successfully installed, select “Restart” to complete the installation.

Seagate Dashboard—Installation and Use

The Seagate Dashboard works seamlessly with your Backup Plus Portable Drive. It is comprised of three

main components: Protect (backup your computer), Save (download content from your social media sites),

and Share (upload content to your social media sites). The benefit of this is that in just 3 clicks, you can

perform all three tasks.

When new items are added to your computer and/or your social media sites, the Seagate Dashboard can

scan them for new items and categorize them accordingly. This eliminates the need to constantly instruct the

software where the new information goes. And as an added bonus; Seagate will provide up to 4GB of Cloud

Storage for free for an entire year.

(As was briefly mentioned, the Seagate Dashboard is Mac compatible but for the purposes of this reviewer’s

guide, we will focus on the Windows environment.)

Ok, let’s walk through the installation and use of the Seagate Dashboard.

Installation:

1. On your Windows desktop (or the Windows Start Menu), double click My Computer.

2. Locate and double click the Seagate Backup Plus Drive

3. Double click the Seagate Dashboard Installer.exe (you may be prompted to install Microsoft VC

Redist 2010 SP1 (x86) component) & Reboot Validator, install the files)

a. Accept any update that is available to get the latest version of the Seagate Dashboard

rather than doing a manual update later.

4. Click Finish. After a few moments the Seagate Dashboard will launch.

Once the Seagate Dashboard is installed and opened you will now have access to the Protect, Share and

Save features.

Protect

This feature will allow you to back up some or all of your non-system files. This includes your documents,

photos, and videos:

After clicking Protect, you will be presented with two options:

•Protect Now: This will back up all of your data files to your Seagate Backup Plus drive

•New Backup Plan: This allows for the scheduling of a custom back up
