Protecting Local Disks
CAUTION:
Selecting a backup with a spe-
cific date/time stamp is strongly recommended.
In most cases, selecting
Latest Backup
is the
same as selecting the backup in the list with the
most recent date/time stamp. However, if the
most recent backup is marked <Protect>, the
Latest Backup will be in an incomplete state.
In that case, be sure to select one of the other
listed backup dates rather than Latest Backup.
In addition, if nothing appears in this column
besides Latest Backup, do not recover this disk
or partition. In this situation, Latest Backup rep-
resents only the empty storage space allocated for
the backup and contains no data to recover.
CAUTION:
This action is not reversible. If
you select this option, you will not be able to
subsequently recover from another later backup.
In addition, you can select this option only if
you selected an older backup from the list; you
cannot select this option if you selected <
Latest
Backup
>.
tion, and S for system disk). For example, if you pro
tected both a system partition and a data partition,
the system partition will be labeled PS, and the data
partition will be labeled simply P. If you protected
disks of different sizes, the
Size
column (which dis-
plays the number of megabytes) can also help you
identify the right item. You can also compare the disk
ID with the listed backup disk IDs in the Manager
(as described in section
5.6. Managing Backups
).
If you protected the same disk more than once (for
example, if you remove protection and then pro-
tected the disk again without re-using the existing
backup), the attributes and size of each backup of
that disk will be the same. To determine which item
to select, select each one individually and look at the
times and dates in the right column. This can help
you identify which image is the most recent.
In the right column, select the date and time of the
backup that you want to recover.
Whenever you recover data using the recovery CD,
an additional backup of the selected backup is cre-
ated. As a result, if the maximum number of backups
has already been performed, the oldest backup is de-
leted to make room for this backup.
Backups created by the recovery CD are identified
in this list by the word <Recovery>. To update the
information on this screen, select
Refresh
. This is
helpful if you’re recovering data from one computer
to another and a new disk was protected or a backup
occurred after this screen was displayed.
Specify whether or not to delete all backups that oc-
curred after the selected date by selecting or clearing
Delete all later backups
.
Specify whether or not to scan for differences be-
tween the backup and your local disk by selecting or
clearing
Enable microscan
, and then select
Next.
