If you are performing disaster recovery on more than one computer, recover the computers in the following order:

1.The NetWorker server

2.The NetWorker storage nodes (if any) used by the NetWorker server

3.The NetWorker clients associated with the NetWorker server

Note: If the backup device to be used for the recovery is connected to a storage node, you might have to perform a partial recovery of the storage node before you begin recovery of the NetWorker server. For more information, see “Recovering a NetWorker Client or Storage Node” on page 82.
