System Configuration - Western Digital wd Cloud User Manual

Restore to Default
The Restore to Default area allows the Administrator to perform a restore on the
WD Cloud device.
Perform one of the following options to restore your system:
 System Only: Reverts system settings to the original factory default values, but retains
user data and shares.
 Quick Restore: Reverts all settings to the factory default values, erases all user data
and shares, and retains default shares. Quick Restore creates a new file table on the
device, but does not fully overwrite or erase the drive, so data recovery programs can be
used to restore user data and shares.
 Full Restore: Reverts all settings to their default values, deletes all user data and shares
permanently, and retains default shares. Data recovery programs cannot be used to
restore data; all user data and shares, with the exception of the default shares, are
permanently deleted.
Important: Before doing a factory restore or a system update, you may choose to
save your device's current configuration. At a later time, you can import a
previously saved configuration. Keep in mind that importing a
configuration after restoring factory defaults does not restore shares or
users. See ""Saving a Configuration File" on page 75," to create or restore
a configuration file.
Note: To erase all of the data on your device, see
Restoring your System
