•“Task 1: Install the NetWorker Server Software” on page 67

•“Task 2: Configure the NetWorker Server” on page 68

•“Task 3: Locate the NetWorker Server Bootstrap Save Set ID” on page 70

•“Task 8: Recover the NetWorker Server Data” on page 78

•“Task 9: Restore the Removable Storage Jukebox Configuration” on page 80

•“Task 10: Verify the NetWorker Server Recovery” on page 81

Important: When recovering a NetWorker server that was also being used as

a Legato License Manager server (not recommended), the lictype.res file of the 4 Legato License Manager is not restored during the NetWorker server

recovery. This is because the Legato License Manager files and directories are not considered part of the NetWorker software. After completing the disaster recovery on the NetWorker server, you must explicitly recover the Legato License Manager as a client of the NetWorker server.

Task 1: Install the NetWorker Server Software

Important: If you updated from NetWorker release 6.x and have not yet performed a scheduled backup of the NetWorker server, reinstall NetWorker release 6.x and use it to recover the bootstrap, then update the NetWorker software and proceed with the recovery.

To install the NetWorker server software:

1.Install to its original path location the release of the NetWorker server software that was in use prior to the disaster. For instructions, refer to the Legato NetWorker Installation Guide, Microsoft Windows Version.
