Performing Data Backup

Backing up your data is best defined by the keeping duplicate

copies of your files on a separate storage device. It is always

a good idea to keep important data in at least two different

places. We recommend that you obtain and use a quality

backup software application if the basic program that come with

Formatting Your Drive

The GreenDrive comes preformatted at the factory with the FAT32

file system, which will mount on most modern operating systems.

FAT32 has some limitations, and we recommend you reformat the

volume to a file system format more compatible with your particular

computer and operating system environment.

Formatting a hard drive erases all data contained on it. Please

be sure to create a copy of the files you wish to keep to another

location before reformatting.

Formatting the drive in Mac OS X

1. Launch the “Disk Utility” application located under Applications/

Utilities folder.

2. Highlight your new drive and select the “Partition” tab

3. Select the new partition map type.

4. For each partition in the volume scheme, select the desired

file system format and volume name (optional)

Although it is possible to format a hard drive on Mac OS X

using the DOS file system, we do not recommend this, as

an artificial capacity limit may be imposed on the drive and

performance will be unpredictable.

5. Click the “Options” button. Select “Apple Partition Map” in the

dialog box and click “OK”.

6. Click “Apply.” Your RAIDBank4 is ready to use!
