4.3 System Restoration with DiskSafe Express
With DiskSafe Express, there are several ways to recover data from your backups. The best
method to use depends on what you want to do:
• Recovering selected folders, files, or sections of files: If you accidentally permanently
deleted a folder or file that you want to recover, or if you just want to retrieve some
information from a file that you changed, you can access the backup that contains the
desired data and copy it to your local disk.
You can also use this procedure to try out different “what if” scenarios—for example,
changing the format of the data in a file—without adversely affecting the data on your local
disk.
For more information, refer to Section 4.3.1.
• Recovering an entire non-system disk or partition: If you protected a disk or partition that
isn’t being used to run the operating system, you can recover that disk or partition using
DiskSafe Express. You might need to do this if the disk has become corrupted or the data
has been extensively damaged. The entire disk or partition will be restored to its exact state
at the time of the selected backup.
Warning: When you recover non-system disks or partitions, 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, in rare cases (for example, if your data disk contains applications like
anti-virus programs that interact with the operating system), if network errors
