7.9.2. Recovering a Data Disk
■
You can recover a data disk or partition only as long
as Windows Backup Software is not installed on that
disk or partition, the disk or partition is not currently
being backed up, and a more recent backup view is not
open.
If you recover a partition and other partitions of that
same disk are also protected, protection for those other
partitions temporarily stops until the selected partition
is recovered.
Once the recovery of any data disk or partition is
complete, your computer restarts automatically.
CAUTION:
When you recover a data disk or
partition, you will lose any data that was written
to the disk after the time of the selected backup,
as well as any backups that were performed af-
ter the backup you’re recovering. You might
want to copy any newer files that you want to
keep to another disk before you recover the disk.
In addition, in rare cases (for example, if your data
disk contains applications like antivirus programs
that interact with the operating system), if net-
work errors occur or the Ethernet Disk RAID
shuts down during recovery, your operating sys-
tem might become unstable, and you will have to
recover it using the recovery CD (or re-install the
operating system if you did not protect your sys-
tem disk).
To recover a data disk or partition:
Click
Restore
.
In the
Protected disk
list, select the disk or partition
that you want to recover.
In the
Backups
list, select the backup that you want
to recover.
Click
Restore Disk
.
If you are restoring a partition, and at least one other
partition on the same disk is also protected, a message
appears, advising you that protection will be stopped
for that partition during the recovery process. Click
Yes
to proceed.
When the recovery confirmation message appears,
click
Yes
.
