Getting Started
The Seagate Manager software, included with your FreeAgent
TM
 drive, adds a powerful set of 
tools to your drive:
Backup and restore features to enable you to protect your data.
Sync, to synchronize one or more folders between two or more computers.
Security features, including encryption of multiple files and folders in one location, as 
well as backup and sync encryption. Not available in all regions or with all products.
Settings to control power management, software updates, drive lights and more.
The features described in this guide (except where noted) are compatible with all Seagate 
FreeAgent and Maxtor OneTouch drives and the Windows XP and Vista operating systems.
Using the Seagate Status Icon
After you install your drive, the Seagate Status icon appears in the taskbar notification area on 
your computer desktop. You can use this icon to check the status of your drive and to access 
the drive features.
Step 1:  
To check the status of your drive, roll your mouse over the Seagate icon:
The information popup confirms the drive’s status and identifies the drive letter.
The color of the Seagate Status icon informs you of the drive’s status: 
Note: 
When a backup or sync has failed, the red icon continues to display until the next 
successful backup or sync. You can view the log file to determine why the backup failed.
