Restore Procedures
Use EZ-Backit Pro to recover and restore you laptop after system
crashes, virus attacks, data losses, and installation errors. The Res-
toration Process has 2 stages: First, use EZ-GIG to restore your disk
back to the last full backup. Then use NovaDisk to restore your daily
or weekly backups (up to the point of your last “good” backup)
EZ-GIG restore is accomplished by simply reversing the direction of
the transfer:
1 Connect EZ-Backit Pro, and boot from the EZ-GIG diskette.
2 Reverse the direction of the EZ-GIG transfer. Use the “Switch”
option in the Utilities Menu to manually select the EzBackit Pro
as the “Source Drive,” and verify that the “Destination Drive” is
now set as the Internal drive. (See Appendix A for more details
on switching the source and destination drives).
3 Use EZ-GIG to transfer the entire contents of EZ-Backit Pro back
down onto your Internal Drive. This “reverse-copy” will restore
your laptop’s OS and file system back to the time of your last
Full Backup.
After using EZ-GIG to restore the Full Backup, use NovaDisk to re-
store the daily or weekly backup files you have run since your last
Full Backup. If you have set Novadisk to run Incremental Backups,
You must restore backup files in the order they were created.
To Restore Backups, start the NovaDisk program, and click the Re-
store button from the Novadisk Main Menu. Restore will search the
database to locate individual file or group of backup files. Locate the
backup files and select “Restore.” Once you have selected restore,
you will be asked whether you would like to use the backup indexes
that are stored on disk or whether you would like the program to check
the media location for indexes of files related only to the specific me-
dia. If you restore a full backup it may contain out-of-date indexes,
You may need to specify the location of your NovaDisk Backups. You
may also manually select certain files to be restored from within a
backup set.
