Mac OS X
Reformat the external hard drive using Disk Utility on the OS. Please
note that One Touch Backup software will NOT work with Mac OS.
Step 6. One Touch Backup (OTB) installation
1. After your drive is connected, turned on, and recognized by your
computer, insert the included CD and open the "Contents" folder,
then open the "CAUM" folder, then open the "OTB" folder.
2. Open the folder that corresponds with your operating system.

12
3. Run the "setup.exe" file
4. An installation wizard will appear, then choose your langauge.
5. Click "Next" then click "Install" to begin installing OTB software.
6. Click "Finish" to continue to the setup of the OTB software. You
may need to restart your computer.
Step 7. Setup of OTB software
1. Run the program. You may have to click on the system tray icon.
With the program running, first select the folder(s) in the left window
that you want to back up. These are the folders on your computer
that will be backed up and are called the Source Folders.
2. Now, on the right window, select a folder in your external hard
drive (under My Computer) or create a new folder via the blue folder
icon to which to back up the data. This folder is called the Target
Folder, and it is the backup location on your external hard drive.

3. Click "Save" under "Path Setting" on the top left-hand corner. The
software will now remember the Source and Target Folders.
4. Under "Backup Style", select Copy or Synchronize. "Copy" will
copy files in the source folder to the target folder, overwriting if
necessary, but not deleting files in the external hard drive.
Synchronize will make the target folder exactly the same as the
source folder (not vice versa). It may delete files that are in the target
folder if they are not in the source folder.
5. To run OTB, press the red Copy button on the back of your drive.
You will be able to see the progress of this backup in the "status bar"
under "Total copy progress" (if the menu is open). For all subsequent
times using OTB, just plug in the external drive and press the red
Copy button. Your files will be automatically copied or synchronized
to the external drive without manually running the program again.
Step 8. Your external hard drive is now ready to use.
3. Run the "setup.exe" file
4. An installation wizard will appear, then choose your langauge.
5. Click "Next" then click "Install" to begin installing OTB software.
6. Click "Finish" to continue to the setup of the OTB software. You
may need to restart your computer.
Step 7. Setup of OTB software
1. Run the program. You may have to click on the system tray icon.
With the program running, first select the folder(s) in the left window
that you want to back up. These are the folders on your computer
that will be backed up and are called the Source Folders.
2. Now, on the right window, select a folder in your external hard
drive (under My Computer) or create a new folder via the blue folder
icon to which to back up the data. This folder is called the Target
Folder, and it is the backup location on your external hard drive.

Troubleshooting
LED light indicator does not turn on
Make sure the power adapter is securely connected to a working electrical
outlet. Secondly, make sure the USB cable is inserted correctly into the hard
drive and the computer. Turn on the power switch (see page 6).
Computer does not detect hard drive
Make sure the USB cables are securely connected. If this does not work,
attach another known working device and working cable into the USB port
on the computer. If your computer does not detect this known device, the
problem could be your computer's USB port. If the port and cable both work
and the hard drive is still not detected, contact customer support.

Loud noises coming from external hard drive
In most cases, loud noises coming from the drive suggest a defective drive or
a loose part. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please
contact customer service for assistance.
Hard drive will not work with my Mac
Format the hard drive to use with a Mac. Note that even if this drive is
formatted for Mac, the One Touch Backup software will not work. The
"Contents" folder of the CD contains a "Formatting Instructions" PDF as well
as a guide to using Apple Time Machine, software that is similar to OTB.
One Touch Backup software will not work
The One Touch Backup software must be installed while the drive is
connected and recognized by your computer. If you installed the OTB
software without connecting your drive, uninstall the OTB software by

18 19
running the "setup.exe" file again and checking "remove." Then reinstall the
software (with your drive connected), following the instructions in this manual.
I cannot back up my operating system or certain files
The CAUM cannot back up operating systems, or files that are in use. Make
sure you have closed any applications or files that may be in your "Source
Folder" on your computer. One Touch Backup will not be able to copy files
that are in use.
If you have more questions, please refer to the Frequently Asked
Questions section online at: www.cavalrystorage.com/su_faq.htm For further
