By default, the Connected agent will search your system for common file types, such as, .doc and .jpg. However, when you install the software, you can choose to manually select the files for backup. To ensure that you back up the files that are most important to you, prior to running your first backup, click the  Backup View  tab and review the selected files.

To change the files in your backup set, select the  Backup View  tab and click   Explore to pick files.  Click to select the checkbox for the desired files or folders, and use the  Backup Rule Wizard  to determine how to handle the files. To view files selected for backup, click   Files needing backup.  When you are ready to backup, click  Backup Now  or wait for your next scheduled backup to occur.

Depending on your Internet connection speed and the amount of data in your backup set, your first backup can take quite a while. We recommended you run your first backup overnight. However, successive backups take considerably less time and can be run at any time, even while you are working on your PC.

Iron Mountain retains your data according to the following rules:

The  Retrieve View  tab displays the most recent version of your files, and by default, selects them for retrieval. Click to clear the checkbox for the files or folders you do not wish to retrieve. To retrieve files, click  Retrieve Now. 

	To see versions other than the most recent, do the following:
	1.	Click  Retrieve Options.
	2.	In the  Retrieve Options  window, select the desired option and click  OK.
		Note:  For more information on the options, click  Help.

If you can’t find the file you’re looking for, see Using Find File to retrieve files.

Use the  Find File  feature to locate a backed up file you want to retrieve. To search for a file, do the following:

	1.	From the  Retrieve View  tab, select  Operations  >  Find  (or click the magnifying glass icon).
	2.	In the  Find File  window, type the filename.
			Hint:   If the file name is long, or if you aren’t sure of the full name, use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard at any point in the file name.
		Example:  If you are looking for a file named My Resume.doc, type *resume.doc. The agent will search for all files that end in resume.doc.
		Example:  If you are looking for a file named Peaches and Cream.jpg, type P*and*.* , P*and*.jpg or Peach*.jpg.
	3.	Click  Find Next.  Repeat until you find the desired file.

You can retrieve your backed up files via the Web, using the Account Management feature, MyRoam. MyRoam allows you to select desired files and archives them as a downloadable .zip file. To download the .zip file, use a computer running supported versions of Windows® and Internet Explorer.

If you experience a hard drive failure or replace your PC, you can order a CD or DVD of your backup (applicable fees apply).

Printed instructions are included with the media. To order backup media,  login to Account Management  and click  Order Media.

If you experience a hard drive failure or replace your PC, you can use the  Reinstall Account  feature in  Account Management  to install the Connected software and retrieve your files. You will need your account number and encryption key/password (displayed in the Account Management window) to complete this process. Depending on the size of your backup, this process may take quite a while. If you prefer to reinstall your account using a CD or DVD, see Ordering backup media. To reinstall your account, do the following:

	1.	Login to Account Management  and click  Reinstall Account.  Download instructions are displayed.
	2.	Click  Print  and follow the instructions to download and install the Connected software.

To improve performance or add new features, Iron Mountain periodically makes changes to the Connected software. After we thoroughly test the software, we release the new version to our customers. When you backup, the software checks for updates and the new version is automatically installed. No action is required on your part; you will always have the latest software version.
