accessing any files on the drive, so this method is useful only for offline
backup.
To do a complete online backup that includes files that are in use, choose
the PSM Persistent Image backup method. This method creates a
persistent image (mapped as an unused drive letter on the system), backs
up a copy of that persistent image, and then deletes the original persistent
image (drive letter). For more information about persistent images see
"Persistent Images" on page 61.

NAS Backup Assistant, the NT Backup file (*.BKF) was created for the
persistent image virtual drive letter instead of the original drive letter. For
example, if you selected drive C for backup, a persistent image was created
on the next available drive letter in the system, and that drive was backed up
instead of drive C. If you do not remember the original drive letter, you can
view the backup log files in NAS Backup Assistant. The top section of the log
file gives you the original drive letter, and the bottom section gives you the
persistent image drive letter. When you have the original drive letter, perform
the procedure below.
1. Click the Restore using NT Backup link in the Backup and Restore section of
the IBM NAS Admin console to open the backup GUI.
2. Click Restore Wizard, then click Next. You are asked what you want to
restore.
3. Select the appropriate media that you are restoring from.

Browse and find the backup file (.BKF) created for this backup.

Backup Assistant.
