Recovering Data

Intel® Entry Storage System SS4000-E User Guide
With Intel® Client Backup and Recovery, there are several ways to recover data from
your backups. The best method to use depends on what you want to do and the capabilities
of your computer:
•
Recover selected folders, files, or sections of files—If you accidentally permanently
deleted a file or folder that you want to recover, or if you just want to retrieve some
information from a file that you changed, you can access the backup that contains the
desired data and copy it to your local disk.
You can also use this procedure to try out different "what if" scenarios—for example,
changing the format of the data in a file—without adversely affecting the data on your
local disk.
For more information, refer to
•
Recover an entire data disk or partition—If you protected a disk or partition that
isn't being used to run the operating system, you can recover that disk or partition
using Intel® Client Backup and Recovery. You might need to do this if the disk has
become corrupted or the data has been extensively damaged. The entire disk or
partition will be restored to its exact state at the time of the selected backup.
You can continue to use your computer for other tasks while the data is being
recovered, although not any applications or files located on the disk or partition that
you're recovering.
For more information, refer to
•
Recover an entire system disk or partition—If you need to recover your system
disk or partition—that is, the disk or partition used to run the operating system—you
can do so using the recovery CD. This is particularly useful if the hard disk has failed
and has been repaired or replaced, or if you want to duplicate an existing disk to
another computer. The entire disk or partition will be recovered to its exact state at the
time of the selected backup. However, you won't be able to use your computer until
all this process is complete. For more information, refer to
Disk Using the Recovery CD" on page
Alternatively, if your computer does not support the recovery CD but does support the
PXE protocol, you can boot your computer from a backup on the storage system and
then recover your system disk. For more information, refer to
Disk While Booting Remotely" on page
Caution: It is strongly recommended that you determine whether or not your
computer supports the recovery CD before a system failure occurs. To do
this, perform steps 1 through 3 in
