failure, virus, natural disaster, etc. In these cases it is most likely that

 

the boot or system partition of the system is not available and the

 

environment needs to be recovered before the standard restore operation

 

can begin. This includes repartitioning and/or reformatting the boot

 

partition and recovery of the operating system with all the configuration

 

information that defines the environment. This has to be completed in

 

order to recover other user data.

What Is an Original Original system refers to the system configuration backed up by Data

System? Protector before a computer disaster hit the system.

What Is a Target Target system refers to the system after the computer disaster has

System? occurred. The target system is typically in a non-bootable state and the goal of Data Protector disaster recovery is to restore this system to the original system configuration. The difference between the crashed and the target system is that the target system has all faulty hardware replaced.

What Are Boot and A boot disk/partition/volume refers to the disk/partition/volume that

Systemcontains the files required for the initial step of the boot process, whereas Disks/Partitions/ the system disk/partition/volume refers to the disk/partition/volume

Microsoft defines the boot partition as the partition that contains the

 

operating system files and the system partition as one that contains the

 

files required for the initial step of the boot process.
