What am I doing wrong. The backup plus slim will not go to the registration page so it is unusable.
I brought home Backup Plus as recommended by Best Buy to transfer data from old computer to my new computer. I plugged it into a USB port and then double clicked computer. It shows up as H drive and the setup file icon is there. When I click on it I get a warning that says Seagate Registration Server is unreachable. Please try later. Any suggestions as to why this is occuring and how to work around it?
This isn't the best answer, but it certainly works. If the primary purpose of the drive is to act as a transfer mechanism, then don't bother with the Seagate software for doing backups and synchronization. If you have been maintaining your material in a consistent way and know where you save your files, you can just copy them to the drive, and then to your new computer. I purchased a new computer a few months ago and this is what I did and it worked great, but it does entail knowing where all your files are, which not everyone does. Hope this helps.
