STEP 3: Set it up
After your computer and your Mirra have
connected, the Setup Wizard helps you
choose which folders to protect.*
A. Personal Server name
You should choose a name for your Mirra that
identifies it in the Mirra software and when
you access your Mirra via the web.
B. Access password
You can create a password that restricts access
to your folders by other computers on your local
network that are connected to your Mirra.
C. Web access
Your Mirra.com account lets you access
the content on your Mirra from any computer
via the web. It also lets you securely share
specific folders with anyone you choose
via Mirra.com.
D. Folders to back up
Mirra recommends a number of frequently
used folders for backup. You can select folders
to back up now or after you’ve completed the
Setup Wizard using the Back Up & Restore
tab in the Mirra application.
Now for the really easy part, step 4.
STEP 2: Install
Installing the Mirra software on each of your
networked computers lets you sync, share,
and protect all of your digital content.
A. Before you install the Mirra Windows or
Mac software, save any work open in other
applications and then close those applications.
B. Insert the Mirra software CD in your computer’s
CD-ROM drive. The Installation Wizard launches
automatically.
C. When the License Key window opens, enter
your license key, located on the paper sleeve
containing your Mirra software CD.

You’re almost done. Go to step 3.
STEP 4: Rest easy
That’s it. It’s that simple.
Now Mirra will back up all your important work every
time you save, without your lifting (or dragging and
dropping) a finger. It’s the best digital life insurance
you can own and a dependable lifeline to your
friends, colleagues, and clients. So kick back,
relax, and enjoy. Mirra will do the rest.
