Protecting Local Disks
ImpOrTANT INfO:
Only four backups of
each protected disk or partition are saved on the
Ethernet Disk RAID, so if you back up your disk
every day, you’ll be able to recover data from only
the last four days. If you back up your disk once
a week, you’ll be able to recover data from four
weeks ago, but the most recent backup might be
as many as six days old.
Specify when you want backups to occur.
For example, if you want backups to occur every day,
select
Daily
from the
Recurrence
list. If you want back-
ups to occur once a week, select the day of the week
from the
Recurrence
list. Then select the time.
If you don’t want backups to occur automatically,
select
Not Scheduled
from the
Recurrence
list. (The
Time list appears dimmed.) Backups will occur only
when you start one manually (as described in section
7.3. Manually Backing Up Your Disk
).
Fig. 7.2.E
ImpOrTANT INfO:
Although Windows
Backup Software is specifically designed to per-
form backups without affecting your other com-
puter activities, you might want to schedule back-
ups for a time when they’ll have the least impact
on your system, like during lunch or after busi-
ness hours (if you leave your computer running
overnight). If you’re protecting multiple disks or
partitions, it is recommended that you schedule
each backup to occur at a different time.
ImpOrTANT INfO:
Be sure to back up your
disk or partition before you try to recover it using
the recovery CD.
7. Specify whether or not to back up your disk as soon as
you finish the wizard by selecting or clearing the
Back
up now
check box, and then click
Next
. See Fig. 6.2-E.
If you clear this option, the disk will be backed up at
the next scheduled time or the next time you perform
a manual backup.
