USER MANUAL
CONFIGURING BASIC SETTINGS – 67
Factory Restore
Note: For information about using the Reset button to return the password and
network mode to factory settings, see “Resetting the My Book Live Duo
Device” on page 128.
In this area of the Settings page, the Administrator can choose a short factory restore or a
full one. The drive loses all information, and the Administrator password returns to none.
Note: A Quick Factory Restore formats the drive, while a Full Factory Restore
securely erases the drive.
To restore factory defaults:
1. For Restore Type, select Quick Factory Restore (default setting) or Full Factory
Restore and click the Start button.
2. When asked to confirm the action, click the Yes button to continue or the No button to
return to the Utilities page.
3. When the progress bar displays, if you selected Full Factory Restore in step 1, but you
change your mind, click the Change to Quick Restore button to start a Quick Factory
Restore from the beginning.
At the end of the restore, the “Complete Restore Finished“ message displays, and the
system reboots.
WARNING! The steps detailed below will result in loss of all data. This data
cannot be recovered.
Important: You might want to export and save the drive's current configuration before
restoring factory default settings so that you can import it afterwards. Note
that importing a configuration in this case does not restore shares or users.
If you want to restore the complete contents of a My Book Live Duo device
including user settings, backups, and data, use the safepoint feature
described on page 86.
WARNING! Interrupting the factory restore process may damage the
My Book Live Duo drive. Wait until after the reboot to use the drive
again.
