The status screen displays the progress of the recovery. You can cancel it at any time by
selecting Abort. However, this leaves the disk or partition in an incomplete state (some of the
data will have been recovered, but not all of it).
20. When the completion screen appears, review the results and do one of the following:
• To review information about any sectors that were not successfully recovered, select
“Failed Sectors”, review the displayed information, and select “Back”.
• To recover another disk or partition, select “Continue”.
• If you want to recover a different backup of the same computer from the same storage
system, select “Yes” to retain the current configuration settings and return to step In the
left column, select the backup that corresponds to the disk or partition that you selected.
• If you want to recover a different computer’s backup, or if you want to recover a backup
of the same computer from another storage system, select “No” to modify the current
configuration settings and return to step 5.
• To restart the computer, select “Finish”.
21. When the computer restarts, use the appropriate procedure for your system to configure the
computer to boot from the local hard disk once more.
22. Start DiskSafe Express and remove protection from the recovered disk or partition (as
described in the next section).
23. Restart the computer.
24. Protect the recovered disk once again, re-using the original backup.
4.3.4 Recovering a System Disk or Partition using Remote Boot
If your computer does not support the recovery CD but does support the PXE protocol, you can
remotely boot your computer from a backup on the storage system and then recover your
system disk. To determine if your computer supports the PXE protocol, try to enable remote
boot. If your computer does not support the PXE protocol, an error message will appear during
this process.
You can enable remote boot only if the following criteria have been met:
• Windows was installed on the first partition of the first disk in your computer.
• DiskSafe Express was installed on that system disk.
• You protected your system disk or partition.
• You are accessing the computer directly rather than using Remote Desktop.
Note: If DiskSafe Express was installed on the same disk but a different partition
than Windows, the entire system disk must be protected rather than each
individual partition. If you protected each partition individually, remove protection
for those partitions (as described in Section 4.3.5) and protect the entire disk (as
described in Section 4.2.6).
You must wait until the initial backup of your system disk or partition has been
completed before you enable remote boot.
When you enable remote boot, your network connection will be temporarily interrupted. It is
recommended that you enable remote boot when this will not adversely affect any network
