Removing protection
If you no longer want to back up a particular disk or partition , you can remove
pro
t ection as long as a recovery is no t currently in progress for tha t disk or partition.
(If
a recovery is in progress, you must cancel it or wait until it completes before you
can
remove protection.)
Note: If you plan to delete a protected partition , be sure to remove pro t ection
before you delete that partition. Otherwise, you migh t no t be able to protect other
partitions on that disk.
When you remove protection for a disk for which remote boot is enabled , remote
boot will be disabled and your compu t er will restart .
When you remove protection , you will no longer be able t o back up the selected disk
or partition either automatically or manually , and you cannot recover data using
DiskSafe
Express (as described in “Recovering files or folders” and “Recovering a da t a
disk”). However , the backups that currently exist on the storage system are retained ,
and you can recover them using the recovery CD
(as described in “Recovering a system disk using the recovery CD”).
If you subsequently want t o pro t ect the same disk or partition again, you can re-use
the
existing backups . You can also delete the existing backups on the storage
system to free up space for backups of o t her disks or partitions , either f or this
compu t er or other computers. For more information, refer to “Deleting a backup”.
