Protecting Local Disks
To ensure that valuable storage space is not used up by duplicate data, when Intel
Backup and Recovery performs each subsequent backup, it copies only the data that
changed since the last time a backup was performed. This also minimizes the impact on
your network. Yet through unique technology on the storage system, each backup is a
complete point-in-time image. You can view or recover the entire disk or partition exactly
as it existed at a particular date and time.
If you need to recover data from the storage system, you can do so quickly and easily. You
can recover just a few files or an entire disk.
•
To recover a few files or folders, access the backup and copy the needed data to the
local disk.
•
To recover an entire data disk or partition that does not contain operating system files,
use Client Backup and Recovery.
•
To recover the whole system disk, use the recovery CD. If your computer does not
support the recovery CD but does support the PXE protocol, boot from a backup on
the storage system and then recover the system disk. When you recover a disk, it
contains the data it contained when the backup was performed. It is not necessary to
reinstall or reconfigure the operating system or applications.
