Recovering a Data Disk

You can recover a data disk or partition only as long as Intel
Recovery 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 lose any data that was written to the disk
after the time of the selected backup, as well as any backups performed after the backup
you are recovering. You might want to copy any newer files that you want to keep to
another disk before you recover the disk.
In rare cases, such as if your data disk contains applications like anti-virus programs that
interact with the operating system, if network errors occur or the storage system shuts
down during recovery, your operating system might become unstable. You must then
recover it using the recovery CD or re-install the operating system if you did not protect
your system disk.
To recover a data disk or partition:
1. Click Restore.
2. In the Protected disk list, select the disk or partition you want to recover.
3. In the Backups list, select the backup you want to recover.
4. Click Restore Disk.
