5 Protecting Local Disks

Notes:
l If the f irst drive letter after your local disks is mapped to a shared network
folder
, you must use Disk Management to change the drive let t er assigned
to t he 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 no t see a new drive letter for the backup view .
(Internally , the backup view is also mapped to E:, since tha t was the first
drive
letter a f ter the local disks.) However , when you use Disk
Management to change t he 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
lef t pane, click Disk Management . In t he righ t pane, right-click t he
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 .
l If you open a backup view of a disk that contains multiple partitions, a
drive
letter is assigned to each partition.
l Windows caching can affect the con t ent of the backup view . If the content
does
no t appear to be corre ct, restart your computer and check again.
l You can view more than one backup simu lt aneously . Simply repeat steps
3 and 4 for each backup that you want to view .
l If you open a backup view for a partition that cannot be explored (such as
an
EI SA partition) , the backup view is closed automatically .
l 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 canno t occur until
the
view of the oldest backup is closed (as described in the next step).
l When you close the DiskSafe Express application window , you are
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 da t a , select t he
backup in the Backups list and click Close V i ew .
The Windows Explorer window closes automatically , and the Backup V i ew
Open column for the selected backup now displays No .
