• When a backup view is open, that backup will not be deleted to make room
for new backups until it is closed or unless the storage system runs critically
low on resources. If you view the oldest backup, and the maximum number
of backups is reached, new backups cannot occur until the view of the
oldest backup is closed (as described in the next step).
• When you close the DiskSafe Express application window, you will be
prompted to close all open backup views. If you click “Yes”, both the
application window and all open views are closed. If you click “No”, both the
application window and all open views remain open.
6. When you have finished viewing or copying all the desired data, select the backup in the
Backups list and click “Close View”. The Windows Explorer window will close automatically,
and the Backup View Open column for the selected backup will now display “No”.
4.3.2 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.
Warning: 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’re recovering. It is recommended that
you copy any newer files that you want to keep to another disk before you
recover the disk. To copy files from a backup, refer to Section
4.3.1.
In addition, 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). Be sure to
recover your disks or partitions only when your environment is stable.
To recover a non-system disk or partition:
1. In the DiskSafe Express utility, click “Restore”.
2. In the Protected disk list, select the disk or partition that you want to recover.
3. If a view of a more recent backup than the one that you want to recover is open (as
