Notes:
If the first drive letter after your local disks is mapped to a shared network
l
folder, you must use Disk Management to change the drive letter assigned
to the backup view so that you can access it.
For example, if your system disk is mapped to C:, your CD-ROM drive is
mapped to D:, and a shared network folder is mapped to E:, and you view
a backup, you will continue to see the shared network folder when you
explore E:, and you will not see a new drive letter for the backup view.
(Internally, the backup view is also mapped to E:, since that was the first
drive letter after the local disks.) However, when you use Disk
Management to change the drive letter for the backup view from E: to F:,
you will be able to see both the shared network folder (E:) and the backup
view (F:).
To change the drive letter, right-click My Computer and click Manage. In
the left pane, click Disk Management. In the right pane, right-click the
volume, click Change Drive Letter and Paths, click Change, select the
desired drive letter from the list box, and then click OK on each dialog
box. You can now access the backup view using the specified drive letter.
If you open a backup view of a disk that contains multiple partitions, a
l
drive letter is assigned to each partition.
Windows caching can affect the content of the backup view. If the content
l
does not appear to be correct, restart your computer and check again.
You can view more than one backup simultaneously. Simply repeat steps
l
3 and 4 for each backup that you want to view.
If you open a backup view for a partition that cannot be explored (such as
l
an EISA partition), the backup view is closed automatically.
When a backup view is open, that backup will not be deleted to make
l
room for new backups until it is closed or unless the storage system runs
critically low on resources. If you view the oldest backup, and the
maximum number of backups is reached, new backups cannot occur until
the view of the oldest backup is closed (as described in the next step).
When you close the DiskSafe Express application window, you are
l
prompted to close all open backup views. If you click Yes, both the
application window and all open views are closed. If you click No, both the
application window and all open views remain open.
6. When you have finished viewing or copying all the desired data, select the
backup in the Backups list and click Close View.
The Windows Explorer window closes automatically, and the Backup View
Open column for the selected backup now displays No.
