NOTE
By using the HDD Data Encryption & Mirroring Kit, you can store the same data on two hard disks connected to the machine and synchronize them. Even in this case, we recommend that you regularly back up/export your important data, as it is possible that a malfunction in both hard disks may cause the data to be lost.
The passwords and PIN are backed up at the same time. However, some of the passwords may not be backed up, depending on the type of the password.
If your machine is not connected to a network, it is recommended that you print and store important information such as the Address Book. (See "Printing Reports.")
