FireFly User Guide 

To ensure you are working on the master file, always edit and save the files directly to 
FireFly - the Master Drive. Do this whether you are at home or at work. This means 
you do not have to wonder if you are working on the right file or database; the content 
on FireFly is always the latest version. 

Since this drive is the Master Drive, ensure your files and data can be recovered by 
making frequent backups. Copy essential files and data to removable media (such as 
CDs) or the hard drive on your home and work computer. Although not common, 
electrostatic discharge and shock (for example, dropping it on the floor) can damage 
your FireFly. 

Remember to properly unplug FireFly from the computer. For more information, see 
Chapter 3.

You can use multiple FireFlys to store files and data for individual projects.   This is 
useful if most of your work is project oriented where each project generates a large set 
of files and data. Each project can have a designated FireFly to be used as the Project 
Drive.

Macintosh users can automate this process using the CopyAgent 
application found on the FireFly Software Installation CD.
