Using a LaCie drive with Time Machine
In many cases, setting up Time Machine is as simple as connecting the LaCie hard disk to a computer. As soon as it’s connected, Time Machine will ask to use it as a Time Machine drive. The program will automatically use the drive, afterward.
Time Machine will only ask this the first time a disk is connected, however. To use the disk as a Time Machine drive at any time, follow the procedure below:
- Select Time Machine from the dock, or select "System Preferences..." from the Apple Menu.
- Enable Time Machine by clicking ON.
- Click "Choose Backup Disk..."
- Choose the LaCie hard disk from the list of available drives, then click "Use for Backup."
- Time Machine will automatically begin backing up the computer to the LaCie hard disk. After the first backup, Time Machine will back up files hourly.
