If a user needs to recover a disk using the recovery CD or remotely boot from a backup on the storage system, the user will be prompted for a password. The user provided this password when protecting the disk. If the user forgets it, you can reset the password using the Web User Interface. (For information about

recovering a disk using the recovery CD, refer to “Recovering a System Disk or Partition” on page 116. For

information about booting remotely, refer to

“Recovering a System Disk While Booting Remotely” on page 119.)

For booting remotely, you can also specify the MAC address to use (if you need to remotely boot a computer using a different computer’s backup) and the backup to boot from.

In addition, when a user removes protection for a disk, the existing backups are not deleted. The user can re-use the allocated space for new backups, or you can delete those backups manually using the Web

User Interface.
