Disaster Recovery

Assisted Manual Disaster Recovery of a Windows System

CD drives for the location of disaster recovery setup files (Dr1.cab and omnicab.ini). If the required files are found, the drstart utility installs the disaster recovery files in the <%SystemRoot%>\system32\OB2DR directory. Otherwise enter their path in the DR Installation Source text box or browse for the files.

9.If the recovery.srd file is saved in the same directory as dr1.cab and omnicab.ini files, then drstart.exe copies recovery.srd file to the <%SystemRoot%>\system32\OB2DR\bin directory and the omnidr utility is started automatically. Otherwise, you can enter the location of SRD file (recovery.srd) in the SRD Path field or browse for the file and click Next.

If multiple SRD files are found on the floppy disk, Data Protector will ask you to select an appropriate version of the SRD file.

After omnidr successfully finishes, all critical objects required for a proper boot of the system are restored.

10.Reboot the computer, log on and verify that the restored applications are running.

11.If you are recovering a Cell Manager, perform the procedure described in “Restoring the Data Protector Cell Manager Specifics” on page 487

12.Use Data Protector to restore user and application data.

The temporary DR OS will be deleted after the first login except in the following cases:

You have interrupted the Disaster Recovery Wizard during the 10 seconds pause after it has found the DR installation and SRD file on the backup medium, and have selected the Use Debugs option.

You have manually started the omnidr command with the no_reset or debug options.

Disaster recovery fails.
