4

Note: To avoid having to reboot twice, restore the SYSTEM STATE save set

 

last. If you recover all save sets in a single operation, the NetWorker User

 

program restores them in the correct order. If you recover save sets in multiple

 

NetWorker User operations, recover the SYSTEM STATE save set last.

 

The bootstrap and client file indexes are browsable for NetWorker releases

 

earlier than 6.0. If you are recovering a backup from a NetWorker release

 

earlier than 6.0 and you mark for recovery the drive that contains the

 

NetWorker installation directory (the default is %SystemDrive%\Program

 

Files\Legato\nsr) you must unmark the index, mm, res, and bin

 

subdirectories.

 

NetWorker software backs up user profiles in the save set that

 

corresponds to the disk drive on which they are located (for example, the

 

C: save set). To restore user profiles, restore the save set in which they were

 

saved. User profile folders are located in %SystemDrive%\Documents and

 

Settings.

 

11. Select Recover Options from the Option menu.
