4. Carefully insert a new disk drive and secure the module
by latching the handle. G-SAFE will ask if you would like to

Drive 1 (top) to Drive 2 (bottom)

6. G-SAFE will now rebuild the data to the target drive
7. Once the rebuild is complete, the LCD panel will display
the following message.
G-SAFE is now back to protecting your valuable data!
Note: The rebuild process takes approximately one minute for each 2.5 GB
of storage capacity. So the rebuild time for a 250GB drive is approximately
100 minutes. While it is possible to access the G-SAFE during rebuild, data
access may be very slow.
9. USING G-SAFE FOR OFFSITE DATA BACKUP
With the addition of a third drive module
it is possible to add a greater level of
protection by storing a copy of your data
offsite. By rotating drive modules offsite
at regular intervals you can always have
a copy of your data safe and secure.
The process is simple, however to avoid data loss be sure to
follow these instructions carefully.
1. Turn off G-SAFE and remove the drive module you will
take offsite using the provided key.
(You can remove either drive)
2. Place the drive for offsite storage in the protective leather
pouch (leather pouch is included with purchase of
additional drive modules for G-SAFE)
