4.2.6Protecting Your Disks

After you install DiskSafe Express and restart your computer, the Protect a Disk wizard runs automatically. Using this wizard, you can specify which disk or partition you want to back up, where the backups should be stored, when automatic backups (if any) should occur, and what password you want to use for the recovery CD. If you cancel this wizard, you can start it again at any time using the following procedure.

To protect a disk:

1.Click “Protect a Disk” to run the Protect a Disk wizard.

2.In the Available disks list (Figure 4-11), select the disk or partition that you want to protect.

Figure 4-11: DiskSafe Express Disk Selection

If your computer has only one hard disk, there will still be two items in this list. The first item represents the entire hard disk, and the second item represents the partition on that disk. (If there’s only one partition on the disk, the partition is the same as the entire disk.)

If your hard disk is divided into multiple partitions, this list displays one item for the entire hard disk, and one item for each partition. If your computer has multiple hard disks, this list displays an item for each disk and an item for each partition on each disk. Each partition is identified by its drive letter.

Note: Dynamic disks are not supported.

If you select an entire disk, all the partitions on that disk are protected as a single entity. This means that you can’t later recover only one partition; you have to recover the entire disk. If you select just a partition, you can subsequently recover just that partition.
