website.

To update your software:

Click the Home tab to display the Home screen (see Figure 6 on page 10).

Proceed to step 4.

You can easily uninstall the software. However, you will need to restart the 

Run Backup backup job manually after reinstalling the software as uninstalling deletes 
all existing backup job configurations. (See “Backing Up Your Computer Files” on page 
13.) Uninstalling also duplicates all of the backup files on the drive. You may want to 
delete these duplicates.
