Disaster Recovery

Disk Delivery Disaster Recovery of a Windows Client

Limitations

•Disk Delivery Disaster Recovery is not supported for Microsoft Cluster Server.

•RAID is not supported. This includes software RAIDs (fault-tolerant volumes and dynamic disks).

•Internet Information Server (IIS) Database, Terminal Services Database and Certificate Server Database are not restored automatically during Phase 2. They can be restored on the target system using the standard Data Protector restore procedure.

•Boot and system partition on Windows NT 4.0 must be physically bellow the first 7,8 GB due to the operating system limitations. Refer to MSDN Q224526.

Preparation

Complete a few steps in order to prepare for disaster recovery. Read and follow the section, “Preparing for a Disaster Recovery,” in addition to completing the steps listed in this section.

IMPORTANT You have to prepare for disaster recovery before a disaster occurs.

In order to recover from a disaster quickly, efficiently and effectively, you need the following:

•The last valid known full backup of the client that you want to recover.

•A new hard disk to replace your crashed disk.

•A Data Protector hosting system, which has to be of the same operating system as the crashed client and must have the same hardware I/O path required to connect the new disk.

In order to re-create disk partitions to their initial state prior to the crash, record the following information for each partition (it will be needed during the recovery process):

•partitions length and order

•drive letters assigned to the partitions
