Recovering A Non-System Disk Or Partition - US Robotics USR8700 User Manual

Recovering a Non-system Disk or Partition

You can recover a non-system disk or partition only as long as that disk or partition is not currently being
backed up, and only as long as a more recent backup view is not open. For example, if you created
backups on Monday and Tuesday, and Tuesday's backup view is open, you cannot recover Monday's
backup until you close Tuesday's view.
In addition, 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.
Caution: When you recover a 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 are recovering. You might want to copy any newer files that you need to
keep to another disk before you recover the disk. To copy files from a backup, refer to
"Recovering Files from a Backup"
In addition, if network errors occur or the storage system shuts down during recovery,
your operating system might become unstable, and you will need to recover it using the
recovery CD (or re-install the operating system if you did not protect your system disk).
Be sure to recover your disks or partitions only when your environment is stable.
To recover a non-system disk or partition:
1. Click Restore.
2. In the Protected disk list, select the disk or partition that you need to recover.
3. If a view of a more recent backup than the one that you want to recover is open (as indicated by Yes in
the Backup View Open column), select the open backup view and click Close View.
4. In the Backups list, select the backup that you need to recover.
5. Click Restore Disk.
