FireLite User Guide
To ensure you are working on the master file, always edit and save the files directly to
FireLite - the
Master Drive
. Do this whether you are at home or at work. This means
you do not have to wonder if you are working on the right file or database; the content
on FireLite is always the latest version.
Backup FireLite Frequently
Since this drive is the
Master Drive
, ensure your files and data can be recovered by
making frequent backups. Copy essential files and data to removable media (such as
CDs) or the hard drive on your home and work computer. Although not common,
electrostatic discharge and shock (for example, dropping it on the floor) can damage
your FireLite.
Disconnecting
Remember to properly unplug FireLite from the computer. For more information, see
Chapter 3.
Project Repositories
You can use multiple FireLite drives to store files and data for individual projects.
This is useful if most of your work is project oriented where each project generates a
large set of files and data. Each project can have a designated FireLite to be used as the
Project Drive
.
You can connect a
Project Drive
to your computer on a as needed basis or connect
multiple FireLite drives simultaneously as described below.
Connecting Multiple FireLite Drives
To have immediate access to your
Project Drives,
you can connect several FireLite
drives using a powered FireWire hub or by creating a daisy chain.
Tip
Macintosh users can automate this process using the
CopyAgent
application found on the FireLite Software Installation CD.
