16.Performing Disaster Recovery for Windows NT 4.0 Without Disaster Recovery Diskettes

Some PC system manufacturers ship versions of the Windows NT 4.0 CD that contain limitations affecting the Disaster Recovery feature of HP Simple Backup. If, while creating Disaster Recovery diskettes, HP Simple Backup detects that your Windows CD cannot be used to create Disaster Recovery diskettes, you must follow the steps listed below to recover your data:

HP Simple Backup can protect the data on your NT Workstation in the event of a hard drive failure. The Disaster Recovery process allows you to recover lost data and return your system to full operation.

You may choose to back up the NT Workstation Registry by selecting it in the Options settings under the Advanced tab. By default, HP Simple Backup will back up the registry when the Windows Directory is selected for backup. The NT Workstation Registry must be backed up in order to properly restore your system in the event of a hard drive failure.

To use Disaster Recovery:

1.Replace all damaged hardware and properly format the destination drive (see your Windows NT manual for assistance).

2.Start your computer with the Windows NT system disk in your floppy drive (or in

your CD-ROM drive if you have a bootable CD-ROM drive).

3.Follow all instructions to perform a minimal re-install of Windows NT

Workstation, including any Service Packs, and reboot your machine when prompted. Configurations will be restored later.

4.Install HP Simple Backup.

9.From the Restore tab, click Options, General tab and select the Always replace the file on my computer checkbox.

10.Click the Advanced tab and select the Restore Windows Registry checkbox, then click Start.

11.Reboot your machine.

NOTE: Files that were reported as “busy” should be restored at this time. If you wish to restore these files, follow the instructions below for restoring busy files.

To restore busy files;

1.Click the Start menu, select Programs, then select HP Simple Backup. The Startup dialog screen appears. Click Close.

2.From the Restore tab, select a device in the Restore from device drop-down list box.

8.Reboot your machine.

If you have any differential or incremental backups performed after the last full backup, restore those as required.

When you have restored all the files from your backup volumes, reboot the machine to complete your recovery.

Microsoft System Restore periodically creates restore points to which you can return your system in the event of a system error or data loss. If you format your hard drive, then use HP Simple Backup to recover your system, these restore points cannot be restored.
