9.1 Disaster Recovery using Offsite Backup Module
If the data on your G-SAFE somehow becomes
compromised, follow the directions below to restore from
your offsite backup drive.
1.
Turn off G-SAFE.
2.
Remove both drive modules.
3.
Insert the offsite backup drive module in either bay.
4.
Turn on G-SAFE (the alarm will sound and the display will
indicate a MISSING drive).
5.
Mount the drive on your system and verify the contents of
the drive.
6.
Insert one of the original (compromised) drive modules in
the open bay.
WARNING: The target drive you are inserting will
be overwritten with data from the source drive.
Be sure you are inserting the correct drive.
7.
G-SAFE will ask if you would like to rebuild the array.
(in this case G-SAFE will rebuild from Drive 1 (top) to
Drive 2 (bottom)
8.
Push the ENT button to begin the process or ESC button to
cancel (the process will automatically cancel in 10 seconds)
9.
G-SAFE will now rebuild the data to the target drive.
10.
Reset the “MUTE” button to re-enable the audible alarm.
Note: The rebuild process takes approximately one minute for
each 2.5 GB of storage capacity. So the rebuild time for a
250GB drive is approximately 100 minutes.

11.
Once the rebuild is complete, the LCD panel will display the
following message.
G-SAFE is now back to protecting your valuable data!
NOTE: To create a copy of your data for offsite backup, turn
off G-SAFE and repeat steps 6 through 11 using the second
(compromised) drive module. Now all your drive modules
have the most recent data and one can be taken offsite for
safe keeping.
