Recovering a secondary drive

Recovering a secondary drive
If you lose data on a secondary drive, you can use an existing recovery point for
that drive to restore the data. A secondary drive is a drive other than the drive on
which your operating system is installed.
Note: You can recover your system drive (typically, drive C).
For example, if your computer has a D drive and the data has been lost, you can
restore the D drive back to an earlier date and time.
See "About recovering a computer"
To recover a drive, you must have a recovery point that includes the drive that
you want to recover. If you are not sure, review the Status page to determine what
recovery points are available.
See "Monitoring backup protection from the Status page"
Note: Before you proceed, close any applications and files that are open on the
drive that you want to restore.
Warning: When you recover a drive, all of the data on the drive to which you are
restoring the recovery point is replaced by the data in the recovery point. Any
changes that you made to the data on a drive after the date of the recovery point
you use to recover it are lost. For example, if you created a new file on the drive
after you created the recovery point, the new file is not recovered.
