backup for which No appears in the Backup View Open column.
4. Click “View Backup”.
5. When the confirmation message appears, click “OK”.
After a few moments, a window opens automatically, displaying all the data associated with
the selected backup. You can now open the folders and files in the backup view to make
sure they contain the information you want, and copy any of the data to your local disk.
Warning: You can open and change the files in the backup view, and even
create new folders or files. However, as soon as you close the view (as
described in the next step), all the changes will be lost. The next time you view
the backup, it will appear the way it existed at the time the backup was created.
Notes:
• If the first drive letter after your local disks is mapped to a shared network
folder, you must use Disk Management to change the drive letter assigned
to the backup view so that you can access it.
• For example, if your system disk is mapped to C:, your CD-ROM drive is
mapped to D:, and a shared network folder is mapped to E:, and you view a
backup, you will continue to see the shared network folder when you
explore E:, and you will not see a new drive letter for the backup view.
(Internally, the backup view is also mapped to E:, since that was the first
drive letter after the local disks.) However, when you use Disk Management
to change the drive letter for the backup view from E: to F:, you will be able
to see both the shared network folder (E:) and the backup view (F:).
• To change the drive letter, right-click My Computer and click “Manage”. In
the left pane, click “Disk Management”. In the right pane, right-click the
volume, click “Change Drive Letter and Paths”, click “Change”, select the
desired drive letter from the list box, and then click “OK” on each dialog box.
You can now access the backup view using the specified drive letter.
• Windows caching can affect the content of the backup view. If the content
does not appear to be correct, restart your computer and check again.
• You can view more than one backup simultaneously. Simply repeat steps 3
and 4.
• If you open a backup view for a partition that cannot be explored (such as
an EISA partition), the backup view is closed automatically.
