11 . I n the righ t column, select the date and time of the backup that you want to
recover .
Caution: Selecting a backup with a specific date/time stamp is
strongly recommended.
In most cases, selec t ing Latest Backup is the same as selecting the backup
in the list with the most recent date/time stamp. However , if the most recen t
backup is marked <Protect> , the Latest Backup will be in an incomplete
state.
In that case, be sure to select one of the other listed backup dates
rather
than Latest Backup .
In addition, if nothing displays in this column besides Latest Backup , do not
recover
this disk or partition. In this situa t ion, Latest Backup represen t s only
the
emp t y storage space allocated for the backup and contains no data to
recover
. You can press Ctrl+Alt+Dele t e to ex it the recovery CD.
If you select Latest Backup , an additional backup is created on the storage
system, and this image is recovered. As a result, if the maximum number of
backups
has already been performed, the oldest backup is deleted to make
room for t his backup. Backups created by the recovery CD are identified in this
list
by the word <Recovery> .
To update the information on this screen , select Refresh . This is helpful if you’re
recovering
da t a from one computer to another and a new disk was protected or
a backup occurred after this screen was displayed.
12 . If you selected a backup other than Latest Backup , specify whether or not to
delete
all backups tha t occurred af t er the selected backup by selecting or
clearing
Delete all later backups .
Caution: This action is not reversible. If you select this option, you will not
be
able to subsequently recover from another later backup.
13 . Specify whether or not to scan for di ff erences between the backup and your
local disk by selecting or clearing Enable microscan , and t hen select Next .
If you’re simply overwriting corrupted data on your original disk, select this option.
Only the data that dif f ers between the backup and the local disk will be copied to
the local disk. This can minimize the impact to the network, although the
scanning process t akes some additional time.
If you’re recovering the backup to a brand new disk, clear this option . All t he
da t a f rom the backup will be copied to the new disk withou t any scanning (there
will
be nothing to scan on the new disk).
