Protecting Local Disks 5. If you previously protected this disk and removed protection, specify whether or not you want to re-use the existing backup or create a new one: If you select Re-use the existing backup, you must select which backup to re-use from the list. When you select an item from the list, the size also displays to help you identify exactly which backup to use. The word Preferred displays for the backup that best matches the disk you are currently protecting. Once you have selected the desired backup, click Next and go to the next step. Note: If the list does not display the expected information, you might need to click Cancel, click Action > Repair Connection, and then try to protect the disk again. Repairing the network connection refreshes the information about the backups that exist on the storage system. Caution: If you select any disk other than the preferred one, all the data associated with the selected disk is overwritten with the data associated with the disk you are protecting, and you cannot recover any previous backups associated with the selected disk. If you select Create a new backup and click Next, you must select the desired backup location as described in step 4. 102 Intel® Entry Storage System SS4000-E User Guide
