scopes of recovery:

 

 

No recovery: Disaster recovery is not performed and the

 

 

 

computer is rebooted.

 

 

Default Recovery: Critical volumes are recovered. All other

 

 

 

disks are not partitioned and formatted and are ready for Phase 3.

 

 

Minimal Recovery: Only system and boot disks are recovered

 

 

 

(available for EADR and OBDR only).

 

 

Full Recovery: (For future releases).

 

 

Full with Shared Volumes: Available for MSCS only. This

 

 

 

option should be used if all nodes in the MSCS have crashed and

cluster shared volumes that were locked by the backed-up node at

shared volumes will not be restored because the node keeps them
