Disaster recovery for Linux

To perform Disaster Recovery for a Linux system:

1.Remove all media from all cartridge disk drives, tape drives and/or library magazine slots.

2.Insert the first bootable media:

a.If you are using a single tape or removable disk drive, insert the first bootable media into the drive.

b.If you are using a library, see Disaster Recovery with Libraries above.

3.Perform any special steps for booting your computer from the bootable device (refer to your device and system documentation).

4.Select Network Recovery to restore data from anywhere in the network, or Local Recovery to restore data from locally attached devices only.

5.Press Enter.

6.If a warning screen appears, read it and then press F10.

7.When the first confirmation message appears “Are you sure?”, select the appropriate Yes option and press Enter.

8.When the second confirmation message appears, select Yes, Perform the Recovery and press Enter. If you selected Network Recovery in step 4 above, you will be instructed to use your Backup Server to create and run a restore job to complete recovery.

If you selected Local Recovery in step 4 above, the system does not require any input from you until it finishes restoring the first media to your system. Restoring the first media can take from minutes to hours, depending on the amount of data on the media, the speed and capabilities of the device, and whether you are recovering the entire system or just the boot disk.

a.For Local Recovery, after the system has restored the first media, it asks for the next media to restore. Press F10 to restore another media.

b.After restoring the last media, remove the disaster recovery CD or DVD so that you can boot from the hard disk in subsequent steps.

9.Press Esc. A message screen appears.

10.Press F10. Data Protector Express restarts your computer. After your computer has rebooted, log in.

NOTE: Once the recovery is complete, it may be necessary to restore additional incremental backups from other media. Also, SQL data and Exchange data from prior to Exchange 2010 will need to be restored in a separate step using a standard Restore job created through the Tasks menu on the Backup Server.

Disaster Recovery is now complete and you can use Data Protector Express to restore the data from incremental and differential backup media, if needed.

Disaster recovery for Windows 2003, Windows XP and earlier

To perform Disaster Recovery for Windows 2003, Windows XP and earlier:

1.Only disaster recovery media should be loaded in cartridge disk drives, tape drives and/or library magazine slots.

2.Insert the first bootable media:

a.If you are using a single tape or removable disk drive, insert the first bootable media into the drive.

b.If you are using a library, see Disaster Recovery with Libraries above.

3.Perform any special steps for booting your computer from the bootable device (refer to your device and system documentation).
