1.1  What is Seagate BlackArmor
®
 Backup? 
Seagate BlackArmor
®
 Backup is an integrated software suite that ensures security of all 
information on your PC. It can back up the operating system, applications, settings and all of 
your data, while also securely destroying any confidential data you no longer need. With this 
software, you can back up selected files and folders, Windows applications’ settings, settings 
and messages of Microsoft e-mail clients — or even the entire disk drive or selected 
partitions. Should your disk drive become damaged or your system attacked by a virus or 
malware, you can restore the back-up data quickly and easily, eliminating hours or days of 
work trying to rebuild your disk drive’s data and applications from scratch.  
Seagate BlackArmor Backup provides you with all the essential tools you need to recover 
your computer system should a disaster occur, such as losing data, accidentally deleting 
critical files or folders, or a complete hard disk crash. If failures occur that block access to 
information or affect system operation, you will be able to restore the system and the lost 
data easily. 
The unique technology implemented in Seagate BlackArmor Backup allows you to perform 
exact, sector-by-sector disk backups, including all operating systems, applications and 
configuration files, personal settings, and data. 
Seagate BlackArmor Backup helps you protect your identity as well. Simply deleting old data 
will not remove it permanently from your computer. Seagate BlackArmor Backup now 
includes BlackArmor DriveCleanser that permanently destroys files and wipes personal 
information from partitions and/or entire disks, as well as a wizard that cleans up your 
Windows system of all traces of user activity. 
You can store backups on Seagate BlackArmor Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Direct 
Attached Storage (DAS) devices, also on Maxtor DAS. 
When performing scheduled backup tasks, Seagate BlackArmor Backup automatically selects 
a backup mode (full, incremental, differential) in accordance with the backup policy set by 
the user. 
If you are going to install a new hard disk drive, Seagate BlackArmor Backup will help you to 
transfer information from the old one in minutes, including operating systems, applications, 
documents, and personal settings. After migrating to the new hard disk you can destroy all 
confidential information on the old one securely. This is the recommended procedure if you 
intend to donate, throw away, or sell the old hard disk drive. 
Wizards and a Windows Vista-style interface will make your work easier. Just perform a few 
simple steps and let Seagate BlackArmor Backup take care of everything else! When a 
system problem occurs, the software will get you up and running in no time. 
1.2  Advantages 
One-Click Protection – During the first start of Seagate BlackArmor Backup after 
installation, the program will take stock of your computer storage devices and if you have 
enough free space on Seagate BlackArmor drives (DAS or NAS, depending on which licensing 
you have selected); it will offer to immediately protect your system by backing up your 
system volume and Master Boot Record to the storage location of its choice. In addition, 
Seagate BlackArmor Backup will offer you to refresh such backups regularly (by default, once
