1. Log into the DSM as a Security Administrator.

2. Stop all processes and users on the host machine from accessing the intended GuardPoint.

3. On the host machine, move all data out of the intended GuardPoint into a temporary folder.

   Note
   Make sure that folder permissions have not changed. The move-and-copy process can sometimes alter file/folder permissions.

11. The newly created GuardPoint will be listed and contain a red status in a table with other GuardPoints. Click Refresh to manually refresh the screen. When the GuardPoint has been pushed into the machine, the status will turn green.
    
    
    
    

12. After the status turns green, copy the data back into the GuardPoint.

    • If the status does not turn green, there may be a person or process still accessing the folder. The encryption key that is applied in the Learn Mode policy will encrypt the data as the data is being transferred back into the GuardPoint.

    • If you copy the data, you still have a clear text copy of the data in the temporary folder. After you confirm that services are running as expected, you can delete the temporary folder.

13. The next steps will include tuning the policy and will be covered in another article.
