Restoring the Data Protector Cell Manager Specifics

Disaster recovery CD for the Cell Manager should be prepared in advance.

You have to perform a new backup and prepare a new DR CD after each hardware, software or configuration change. This also applies to any network changes, such as change of IP address or DNS server.

In addition to the Cell Manager, you should save the updated SRD file of the Cell Manager on several secure locations as a part of the disaster recovery preparation policy, because the SRD file is the only file in Data Protector where information about objects and media is stored, when IDB is not available. If the SRD file is saved only on the Cell Manager, it is not accessible if the Cell Manager fails. See “Preparation” on page 451.

It is recommended to restrict access to backup media, DR images, SRD files and disaster recovery CDs.
