Chapter 4: Windows Disaster Recovery

4.When prompted, insert the ASR disk into the A: drive and press a key to continue. ASR formats the system partition, copies files, and begins the Windows installation.

Note: Due to a Microsoft Windows XP Professional problem, when you are prompted to insert the ASR disk and press a key to continue, you may need to press a key several times before the system recognizes the disk and proceeds with the recovery. This problem does not occur on Windows .NET systems.

5.If you did not select the Pause During Recovery option while creating the ASR disk, a fully automated recovery will be performed; there will be no pause and you will not be prompted to select which save sets to recover.

If you selected the Pause During Recovery option while creating the ASR disk, during the graphical phase of Windows setup, the NetWorker ASR Client dialog box appears. Expand My Computer and mark the save sets you want to recover, then click Continue. For example, mark the following save sets:

C:\

 

D:\

 

SYSTEM STATE:\

4

SYSTEM DB:\

SYSTEM FILES:\

 

Note: For more information about the Pause During Recovery option, refer to the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, Microsoft Windows Version.

Task 2: Restore Components that Require Special Handling

Important: Due to limitations in Microsoft ASR functionality, the following system state components can not be correctly restored during ASR recovery:

–COM+ Registration Database

–Disk Quota Database

–Windows Management Instrumentation Database

If the NetWorker client being recovered uses any of these components, after an ASR recovery you must perform the following procedure. If the NetWorker client you are recovering does not use any of these components, skip this task and proceed to “Task 3: Verify the NetWorker Client Recovery” on page 56.
