Macintosh Setup
The MiniStation comes pre-formatted with Windows FAT32. Your Macintosh will
recognize this format so you may begin using it immediately. This format will allow for
use on both Macintosh and Windows computers.
You may choose to format the drive
with a Macintosh format. This is
recommended if you do not plan
to use the unit with any equipment
other than Macintosh computers.
To format in Mac OS X, Navigate to
your Utilities folder and select the
application Disk Utility.
Select The Buffalo Hard Drive and
click the Erase button.
Follow the wizard to complete the
format process. Click Erase when
done.
NOTE: Formatting the drive will
erase all data on the drive.
In Mac OS 9, the MiniStation will automatically mount on the desktop.

Mac OS 9 will not allow you to reformat the drive to a Macintosh format.
You must use Mac OS X or a third party disk utility to reformat the drive, if reformatting
is necessary.

Macintosh Backup
Apple offers a Backup Utility to OS X users who have purchased a .Mac account. This is
not a Buffalo product, but if you have .Mac, the following directions may be helpful:
Connect the MiniStation hard drive to your
Mac and make sure it is mounted on the
desktop.
From your Applications folder, open the
application Backup.
By default, the user idisk is selected as the
backup destination. To change this to the
MiniStation, click the Set button and then the
Create button.
Select the Buffalo portable hard drive and name the
backup file. Click Create.
Select the files you would like to have backed up by
placing a check mark in the corresponding box. You
may add additional files and folders by clicking the
“+” button on the bottom left and select which files
and folders you would like to backup. Once done
click the Backup Now button.
Your files will now be backed up.
You can also create a backup schedule by clicking
the calendar icon on the bottom left (circled).
Select whether you want daily or weekly backups,
time of day, and day of week.
