Recovering a data disk

131
You can recover a data disk or partition only as long as DiskSafe Express is not
installed on that disk or partition, the disk or partition is not currently being backed up,
and no backup view is 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 will lose any data that
was written to the disk after the time of the selected backup, as well as any
backups that were performed after the backup you're recovering. You might want
to copy any newer files that you want to keep to another disk before you recover
the disk.
In addition, in rare cases (for example, 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, and you will have to 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 that you want to recover.
