Removing protection

If you no longer want to back up a particular disk or partition, you can remove
protection as long as a recovery is not currently in progress for that disk or partition.
(If a recovery is in progress, you must cancel it or wait until it completes before you
can remove protection.)
Note:
If you plan to delete a protected partition, be sure to remove protection
before you delete that partition. Otherwise, you might not be able to protect other
partitions on that disk.
When you remove protection for a disk for which remote boot is enabled, remote
boot will be disabled and your computer will restart.
