Configure Personal Secure Drive Restore Settings

With this page you can restore Personal Secure Drives. You can either use the backup of an PSD image file for an already configured PSD, or you can set up a new PSD to use this restored image file.

The following table gives hints on how to use this wizard page.

Wizard Page Element Explanation
Default Personal Secure Drive backup location
Browse...		 If you want to restore one or more Personal Secure Drives, then specify the default path of PSD image file backups to be restored. This path will be taken as default restoration path for all PSD image files. If you want to restore several image files from different locations, then use the Change... button to set the paths individually.

If you do not want to restore a Personal Secure Drive at all, you can ignore the path selection.
Select the Personal Secure Drives to be restored This list displays all your Personal Secure Drives configured on your platform. Select the drives to be restored, and make sure that a valid image file backup is specified for each selected drive.

The list may include drives with different status:
  • Personal Secure Drives which are fully functional (i.e. both the PSD settings and the image file are available). You might want to restore a fully functional drive for example, if you have deleted some files in your PSD by mistake, and the image file backup includes these files. Note that your current PSD data will be completely overwritten in this case.
  • Personal Secure Drives with missing image file (for example if you have just restored the PSD settings from a Backup Archive, but the image file is still to be restored). In this case you need to restore the image file backup, before you can access your PSD data.
  • Personal Secure Drives for which no applicable key is available. In this case you can restore a image file backup which uses the expected key. But consider to restore credentials and settings first, then you may not need to restore the image file.

If you do not want to restore a Personal Secure Drive at all, then make sure that no Personal Secure Drive is checked.

Context menu: Right-click the list to display a context menu with all supported actions.
Add... Click this button to add another Personal Secure Drive to the drive list. This way you can restore a Personal Secure Drive from an image file backup, without having a backup of the corresponding settings.
A dialog will be displayed where you can configure all relevant PSD settings.
Change... Click this button to set or change the restore settings of the selected Personal Secure Drive.

You need to do this for example in the following cases:
  • No appropriate image file backup could be found at the default PSD backup location.
  • An appropriate image file backup could be found at the default PSD backup location, but you want to select another valid image file backup.
  • The local status of the selected PSD requires that the image file destination or drive letter is changed.

A dialog will be displayed where you can configure all relevant PSD settings.
