Task 3: Verify the NetWorker Client Recovery

To verify the NetWorker client recovery:

1.Reboot the NetWorker client host computer and verify that the NetWorker Remote Exec and NetWorker Power Monitor services have started.

Note: You can disable the NetWorker Power Monitor service if it is not needed. For more information, refer to the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, Microsoft Windows Version.

2.Use the Windows Event Viewer to examine the event logs for errors. In particular, check for:

•Service startup errors related to the Windows system state

•Errors regarding the recovery of Windows system-protected files

For information about how the NetWorker software handles the Windows system state and system-protected files, refer to the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, Microsoft Windows Version.

3.Verify that any applications (such as Microsoft Office) that were running prior to the disaster have been properly restored. To verify this, start each application and open a previously saved document.
