using the same recovery password as the storage system. This can occur if you
changed the recovery password on the unit before booting remotely, or if you
changed it between backups in DiskSafe Express and booted from an earlier
backup. To resolve this issue, you must reset the password in the Microsoft iSCSI
Initiator (as described in Resetting the recovery password in the Microsoft iSCSI
Initiator”). Then restart DiskSafe Express.
12. Click “Restore Disk” to open the Restore dialog box.
13. Specify whether you are recovering to the original disk or a new disk. If you are recovering
to a new disk, select the desired disk from the list. Click “Restore”.
14. When the confirmation message appears, click “Yes”. The backup is recovered to your local
disk, and the progress bar displays the progress of this process. You can cancel the
recovery at any time by clicking “Stop” on the progress dialog box.
Note: Do not shut down your computer, disconnect from the network, or perform
any other tasks until this process is complete.
15. After the recovery is complete, click “OK” to restart your computer.
16. Use the appropriate procedure for your computer to configure it to boot from the local disk.
17. If you changed the recovery password, reset it in the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator after your
computer restarts (as described in Section B.5).
18. Start DiskSafe Express and remove protection from all your disks and partitions (as
described in Section 4.3.5). Then protect them again (as described in Section 4.2.6), reusing
the existing backups. If you need to recover any other data disks or partitions, you can do
so (as described in Section 4.3.2). However, be sure to do this after you have removed
protection and then protected the disks again.
19. Disable remote boot and enable it again as described above.
4.3.5 Removing Protection
If you no longer want to back up a particular disk or partition, you can remove protection as long
as a recovery is not currently in progress for that disk or partition. (If a recovery is in progress, it
must be cancelled it or completed before the protection can be removed.)
Note: If you plan to delete a protected partition, be sure to remove protection before you delete
that partition. Otherwise, you might not be able to protect other partitions on that disk.
When you remove protection, you will no longer be able to back up the selected disk or partition
either automatically or manually, and you cannot recover data using DiskSafe Express.
However, the backups that currently exist on the storage system are retained, and you can
recover them using the recovery CD.
If you subsequently want to protect the same disk or partition again, you can re-use the space
that was allocated for previous backups. You can also delete the existing backups on the
storage system to free up space for backups of other disks or partitions, either for this computer
or other computers.
To remove protection:
1. In the Protected disk list on any page, select the disk for which you want to remove
protection.
2. From the Action menu, click “Remove Protection”.
