Copying / Moving Files
Now that you have successfully installed your new Portable Series External Hard Drive, you can copy or move les or whole
folders from your new Portable Series to your computer and vice-versa.
It is important to understand the difference between Copy and Move.
Copy : is to make a duplicate folder or le and store it so that you have two copies.
Move : is to take a folder or le from one location and put it into another.
WHEN YOU MOVE A FOLDER OR FILE, YOU NO LONGER HAVE A BACKUP COPY.
