Seagate blackarmor ps 110 Guia Do Utilizador

Please be aware that the Try&Decide cannot track changes in disk partitions, so you will be

unable to use the Try&Decide mode for virtual operations with partitions such as resizing

partitions or changing their layout. In addition, you must not use the Try&Decide mode and

disk defragmentation or disk error checking utilities at the same time, because this can

irreparably corrupt the file system, as well as make the system disk unbootable.

Seagate BlackArmor Backup will track changes until the BlackArmor Backup Secure Zone is

almost full. Then the program will alert you that the time has come to make a decision on

whether to apply or discard the changes made so far. If you choose to not heed the alert

message, the program will automatically restart the system when the zone is full, discarding

the changes in the process of rebooting. At that point, all changes will be lost.

If you have chosen Discard Changes and rebooted the computer with multiple operating
systems installed, you won’t be able to boot other operating systems, except the one used

for working in the Try&Decide mode. The second reboot will restore the original MBR and

make other operating systems bootable.

7.1 Using Try&Decide

Now let's see how to use this feature. First of all, you should decide for yourself which part
of your system you want to protect and set the Try&Decide options correspondingly. Those
options also provide other settings for the Try&Decide mode.

7.1.2. Try&Decide options

You can configure Try&Decide options as required.

• Partition protected by T&D – specify the partition you want to protect from

unauthorized changes during a Try&Decide session. By default, T&D protects Disk C,
though you may choose to protect any other partition in your system.

• Alert settings – specify whether Try&Decide should alert you when it uses up all the

space allotted for saving virtual changes and after a specified time period has passed. By
default all alerts are On.

7.2 Try&Decide usage examples

The Try&Decide feature can help you in a variety of ways; here are some examples:
There are cases when the installation of antivirus software cripples functionality of some
applications; in fact, some programs might even refuse to start after antivirus installation.
The Try&Decide feature can help you to avoid such a problem. Here’s how:
1. Select an antivirus program and download a trial version.
2. Turn on the Try&Decide mode.
3. Install the antivirus software.
4. Try to work with the applications installed on your computer performing your usual tasks.
5. If everything works without any snags, you can be reasonably sure that there will be no
incompatibility problems and can buy the antivirus software.
6. If you encounter any problems, discard the changes in your system and try antivirus
software from another vendor. The new attempt might turn out to be successful.
