Using Your Home Media Network Hard Drive

Configuring the Home Media drive

Click the Home Storage Manager icon in the System Tray (Windows) or Menu Bar (Mac). Select your drive from the

Configure sub-menu. The web-based admin tool will open in a browser window. See the admin tool help system

for more information on configuration settings.

Disconnecting the Drive

CAUTION: To prevent data loss, do not disconnect the drive during data transfer. The activity light on the drive

flashes when it is transferring data. Use caution when moving the drive while it is connected to power.

Backing Up with Your Drive

Iomega recommends periodic system backups and more frequent data backups to ensure that your critical data

is always protected. The frequency of your backups should depend on the importance of your data. To protect

your data, you can simply drag and drop copies of your critical files onto the drive, or you can use the included

software to schedule regular backups.

Set your backup strategy based on information that is most valuable and important to you. If you are using the

drive for primary data storage of critical files, it is recommended that you back up the drive to another device.

For complete setup instructions and more information on backup strategies, install the software and select Help.
