EZ-Backit Pro Information
Thank You for purchasing the EZ-Backit Pro! The EZ-Backit Pro is a
self contained backup solution for your laptop computer. EZ-Backit
Pro was created to make backup easy for laptops, at home or on the
road. The Backit Pro is compatible with most laptop computers. It is
small, portable, easy to use, and can be customized to suit your indi-
vidual backup needs.
Your EZ-Backit Pro Kit Includes:
TheEZ-BackitDrive:
Contains a 2.5” IDE laptop hard drive, with a folding
PCMCIA connector. It is a self-contained, removable
hard drive that requires no additional power outlets. The
EZ-Backit installs as a Plug-and-Play device in most Win-
dows Operating systems. Use EZ-Backit as your remov-
ablebackupdrive.
The Bootable diskette:
Contains the EZ-GIG Software. EZ-GIG is a “drive-to-
drive” copy utility for complete drive backups. Use this
diskette to copy your ENTIRE hard drive onto EZ-Backit
in one step.
The CD-ROM:
Contains the NovaDisk file-backup program. Once in-
stalled, this program can run file-backups with the click
of a Mouse. NovaDisk file-backup sets can also be cus-
tomized and automated by the user. Use this program to
make quick daily backups of important files onto EZ-
Backit.
We recommend using both EZ-Backit programs for the highest level
of backup protection. When used together, the EZ-Backit software will
provide complete backup against fatal hard drive crashes, and daily
backup for smaller errors.

Before You Backup...
Read this Manual FIRST! Make sure you are familiar with all of the
EZ-Backit procedures before you begin.
Organize a regular backup routine! Hard drive backup works best
when it’s done on a regular schedule, so take a moment to come up
with a plan that works best for you. A recommended backup routine
mightbe:
•Run a Full Backup (using EZ-GIG) at the end of each month.
•Perform daily backups (using Novadisk) at the end of each day.
Cleanup the Drive! It’s also a good idea to combine your Backups
with these other important maintenance tasks:
•Clean up any file-system errors by running Windows
ScanDisk (or a similar disk cleanup utility) on your
internal hard drive before you run backups.
• Check with the laptop manufacturer for any BIOS updates.
Most BIOS updates are available-for-download on the
manufactures’ support website. If you find a BIOS update
for your laptop, it should be installed before running
backup.

Plug and Play Installation
EZ-Backit Pro will install as a “plug-and-play” removable hard drive in
Windows 95/98/ME and Windows 2000. These Operating systems
already contain “built-in” device drivers that will work with EZ-Backit
Pro. No additional driver files are required. The complete installa-
tion instructions for each OS are located in the “README.TXT”
file on your EZ-Backit Pro CD-ROM. Depending on your system and
OS, You may have to install the hardware device drivers using the “Add
New Hardware” option inside the Windows Control Panel:
Windows 95 & 98, Windows ME:
During the “Add New Hardware” installation process, the
Wizard should detect the EZ-Backit Pro as a new ATA
device. Windows will install a “Standard IDE/ESDI Hard
Disk Controller” as the device driver.
When installed correclty, you should see this new driver
listed under “Hard Disk Controllers” in the Windows “De-
vicemanager”screen.
Windows 2000:
During the “Add New Hardware” installation process, the
Wizard should detect the EZ-Backit Pro as an ATA de-
vice. Windows will install a “PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI Control-
ler” as the device driver.
When installed correctly, you should see this new driver
listed under “IDE/ATAPI Controllers” in the Windows 2000
“DeviceManger”screen.
Once the device drivers are installed, the EZ-Backit Hard Drive will ap-
pear as an additional hard drive in Windows “My Computer” (If you have
already used the EZ-GIG Drive-Copy, you should see that the EZ-Backit
Pro already contains the same files as your internal drive). Under Win-
dows 95/98/ME and 2000, the EZ-Backit is a “hot-swappable” device.
You can insert the EZ-Backit connector while the laptop is powered
on, and Windows will automatically detect the new drive. Remember:
use the Windows “PCMCIA Card Services” (Win95/98/ME) or the “Un-
plug and Eject Hardware” (Win2000) to stop access to the card before
physicallyremovingit!

NovaDisk File-Backup
Installing NovaDisk Software: (for Windows 9X, ME, 2000, or NT)

2) Browse to the NovaDISK folder on the CD.
3) Double-click the “setup.exe” icon to start the installation.

The NovaDisk file-backup program allows the user to choose which files
to backup, and allows automatic scheduling of backup routines. Use
this program to select critical files you must back up on a daily basis.

mental Backups will only backup files that have been changed since
the previous backup (unchanged files are ignored). The
