SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
These steps are for the installation of the convenient one-touch backup software.
NOTE: This software doesn’t support Mac operating systems. Some images may
look different on your computer, as your software version may be slightly different
than the one represented here.
1. Load the included software CD. The
Prolic Backup program’s InstallShield
Wizard Welcome screen will display
automatically. Click Next to continue.
2. When the wizard’s Complete screen
displays, click Finish.
NOTE: Most screens present the
option of clicking Back to return to a
previous screen or Quit to stop the
installation procedure.

BACKING UP FILES
1. When the Prolic icon displays on the
desktop (below), double-click it to
launch the program (or go to Start /
Programs / Prolic Storage on your
desktop).
2. When the backup program is opened,
the Welcome screen presents two
options for Backup Files: Create or
Restore. To back up les, click Create
Backup Files or go to the Backup
screen by clicking the Backup tab.
3. The Backup screen presents Source Directories, the Destination Drive and
backup options.
• In the Source Directories list, you can click/select the folders that you want to
back up.
• In the Destination Drive section, click Browse (...) to select the external drive.
• The default setting among the backup options is to simply copy all selected

5
items. Backed-up les will be stored
in a subfolder called “PL2X7X
Backup.” Otherwise, you can select:
- “Compress Backup Files,” which
requires that les be restored
before opening (see Restoring
Backup Files). If you also select
“User-dened le name,” you’ll rst
be prompted to enter a specic
lename and folder (and these
les will still need to be restored
before accessing them).
- “Backup modied les only,” which
copies only les that have been
modied since the previous
backup. Note: This option doesn’t
work in conjunction with the
Compressed Backup Files option.
Backup les will be stored on a
sub-folder called “PL2X7X
OnlyBackupModify.”
4. After you’ve selected the folders that
you want to back up, click Browse to
select the external drive where you’ll
be saving the backed-up les. It’s
recommended that you create a new
folder to store all your backup les.
5. With the destination drive and folder selected, click Backup for a default backup.
The operation will display the les being backed up as well as a status progress
bar. After all les selected are backed up, a pop-up message will announce that
the backup is complete and successful. Click OK to nish.

6. Go to your USB storage drive (“MyUSBDrive” in the example below, which
represents the backup HDD in the drive enclosure), and check the “MyBackup”
les. A small utility program called PLBackup is also added into the “MyBackup”
folder so you can execute it if the external drive is connected to another PC that
doesn’t have the Prolic Backup software installed. You will also see the
subfolder “PL2X7X Backup” in which the backup les are stored.

7
7. Inside the subfolder “PL2X7X Backup” you will nd the selected folders that were
copied with a date-time prex added on the folder name. You will also see an
associated “.pbi” le that is used to identify the backup folders in order to restore
those folders. It is important that you do not delete this .pbi le.
8. The second backup option is
“Compress Backup Files,” which lets
you back up les to a compressed le
format for added protection. This will
prevent others from accessing your
backed-up les directly from your
external drive without rst restoring
the les. Select the “Compress
Backup Files” option and click
Backup.

8
9. When backup is complete, the compressed backup les will be stored in the
“PL2X7X Backup” subfolder. Note that each selected folder is compressed
separately with a date-time folder name prex used as a lename. Note also the
associated .pbi le that you need in order to restore these les.
10. When using the “Compress Backup
Files” option, you can also select
“User-dened le name” to specify
your own lename and folder.

9
11. When you click Backup, you’ll be prompted to enter the lename to be used
for the compressed backed-up les and the folder directory to store the les.
Click Save to begin the backup.
12.When the backup is complete, the
compressed backed-up les will be
stored in the folder you specied and
with the lename(s) you specied.
Each selected folder is compressed
separately with the specied lename
used as a prex. Again, note the
corresponding .pbi le with your
specied lename that you need in
order to restore these les (see
below).

10
13. The “Backup modied les only” option lets you save time by just backing up
those les on the folders that were modied from your previous backup. For a
rst-time backup, a full backup of the selected folders in a special backup folder
is needed in order to compare the les (see Step 14). Click Backup to start.
