files before you shut down the storage system.
Shutting down the storage system when a backup is occurring will no t have any
adverse
ef f e ct; t he backup will resume automatically when t he storage server is
powered
on again . However , shutting down the storage system when a disk is being
recovered can potentially corrupt the user’s opera t ing system, and t he user will have
to recover the system disk using the recovery CD (or , if the system disk was not
pro t ected, re-install the operating system).

Once the storage system shu t s down, if you refresh the browser window , it will
be blank. If you subsequently try to access the Manager , an error message will
appear
