Chapter 5: NetWare Disaster Recovery

Task 8: Complete the Server Recovery

To complete the recovery of the server:

1.Use NetWorker software to recover the remaining data, including the client file indexes. In the Browser window, mark everything for recovery, and then unmark all still-operational volumes, LEGATOMM, the server’s LEGATODB, NSR.RES, NSRJB.RES, Schema, and NDS.

Important: Recover each client file index by selecting the client folder from the indexes directory. Each client has a legatodb file that is located in SYS:NSR\INDEX\CLIENT-NAME.

If you run out of memory while recovering multiple files, recover one volume at a time.

2.From the [F2] File menu in the Browser window, display the NetWorker Recover Options dialog box. Select Don’t Overwrite Data.

3.Verify the recovered data. From a workstation, use the ndir command or NetWare Administrator (NWAdmin) to check the data, trustee assignments, file ownership, and other related information.

4.Select Cross-Check Index from the Indexes dialog box of the NetWorker Administrator program to compare the index records to the records in the media index.

5. Perform a check to make sure the server is fully recovered:

5

•Verify that the server and its associated clients are included in a scheduled backup.

•Run dsrepair to verify the integrity of any NDS databases.

•Use the NetWorker Administrator program or the ndir workstation utility to verify the data, trustee assignments, and file ownership.
