Chapter 4: Windows Disaster Recovery

a copy of the bootstrap information after each scheduled backup. The NetWorker server also writes the bootstrap information to the end of the savegrp.log file that is written for the backup.

The following excerpt from a savegrp.log file shows a bootstrap save set ID of 1467388673 located on volume lacey.001. Also note the file and record numbers; having this information speeds the recovery process.

2. If the bootstrap information is not available from the sources described

 

above, you can locate it by using the NetWorker scanner command, as

 

follows, although this can be time-consuming:

 

 

 

 

a. Insert the backup or clone volumes from the most recent scheduled

 

backups into the appropriate device. (Do not use the NetWorker

 

software to mount the media; the NetWorker server does not

 

currently have the necessary information to recognize the media.)

 

b. Start a Windows command prompt and change to the

 

 

<NetWorker_install_path>\bin directory.

 

 

 

 

c. If you are using an autochanger, load the first volume of the

4

bootstrap save set into the first drive of the autochanger by running:

nsrjb -lnv -S # -f device_name

where:

# is the slot where the first volume is located

device_name is the pathname for the first drive

You can obtain the device_name by running the NetWorker inquire command.

d.To determine the save set ID of the most recent bootstrap use the following command:

scanner -B device_name

where device_name is the pathname for the drive where the appropriate volume is located (for example, \\.\Tape0)

Note: If you do not locate the save set ID of the bootstrap from the most recent scheduled backup, run the scanner -Bcommand on the volumes from the next most recent scheduled backup to locate the save set ID of the next most recent bootstrap.
