Protecting and recovering data from loss

Keep the following points in mind if you are restoring files on a managed volume using Backup or other data backup application:

  • You cannot restore Remote Storage files to a different computer.

  • You cannot restore Remote Storage files to a volume that is not formatted with the version of NTFS used by Windows 2000 and the Windows Server 2003 family.

  • You should not restore Remote Storage files to other NTFS volumes on the same computer unless you are sure that those volumes are also managed by Remote Storage.

  • Remote Storage uses the same data format as Backup. In an emergency you can use Backup to restore files. For more information, see Backup.

For advanced information on how to protect and recover data that is managed or needed by Remote Storage, see "Managing Data with Removable and Remote Storage" at the Microsoft Windows Resource Kits Web site.
