Anybody know where to download a manual for this? I've googled it to death and can't find one.

Frankly I have found NO external drive either desktop or portable that have been particularly easy to work with and customer service of all (WD, Seagate, or Toshiba) either don't reply period or if they do it's gooble-de-gook. Seems as though that the hardware is perfectly capable of storing data but retrieving it is another question. The software is totally, absurdly complex. (Ditto thumb drives with password protected sectors. Impossible!) IT folks decry the fact that no one bothers to back up anything. Guess why?

Me too! I'm not going to seriously consider purchasing anything computer related unless I see the manual that goes with it. Is it (i.e., Canvio) truly plug and play? Can you selectively choose individual files to back up? I'm not at all interested in wasting time and space backing up files that I really don't wish to back up. (I only wish to back up photographs.) Filtering through all the comments, while helpful writ large, takes a lot of time when looking for particular information. A manual please.

I love my Canvio....but the NTI Backup Now EZ software that came with it is TERRIBLE. Had to restore my files and such...and it crapped out every time...went to restore my system, and the software whipped out my OS. I reformatted the drive and installed Norton Ghost Backup software. Works GREAT.

Ghost will work with any storage device, that is what it is designed to do. I would agree, most of the time, the software bundled is pretty crappy. Only bundled software I have seen useful was Acronis.

Does the Norton backup work with the Canvio? I like the Canvio a lot but the backups I've done with the software that came with it yielded gibberish.

Mine came with a user manual. I would contact the manufacturer.This video might be helpful.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46k9T_42KY4Good luck.

Try contacting the manufacturer. The owners manual is not much help anyway.

I would look on the internet. Use the name and model number and type in those plus "user manual" or "user instructions".

I've looked all over the net and can't seem to find a link to a pdf manual. Looks like Brad is going to hook you up with one. If that doesn't happen I have a hard copy of one that I could scan in and email you or put it up to the cloud and give you a link. Let me know.

I'm not sure where you can download the manual, since the distributor is out of business, but call this number and they can mail you one: 1-866-442-7873

I had posted a link to the owners manual here but I don't see it now. I would "Google" the manual and see if you can get all your questions answered.

Sorry I haven't used that feature yet.... Did you consult the company? Go to their website and see... The manual there is also pretty awesome, it's huge!

Read the manual. It's very simple. I've had mine off and on many many times. I cannot understand why everyone is making this so difficult. Maybe there is a YouTube video on it. And I wouldn't doubt there is. Check it out. I didn't have to resort to that because I can read the English language.

I suggest searching google putting model number and manual and you should get results, also sometimes YouTube have instruction videos. You should have got a manual with the unit.

If you get an answer let me know. Have not been able to find a manual. did find a diagram with some information.

I see you have already been directed to a link for the manual. If for some reason that doesn't work let me know and I can scan my manual and send you a copy. Lee

I had trouble with mine, until I down loaded a different driver. sorry I forgot where I found it but you can search on line for the driver from other sites that sell this.

Look at the email I sent you and there is a PDF attached with all the instructions. Email me directly and I can attach another one if you can't find it.

Great idea. I'll check the site to find a manual. I should have thought of that myself!
