Recovering a NetWorker Client or Storage Node
Recovering a NetWorker Client or Storage NodeThis section explains how to recover a Windows NetWorker client host computer or a Windows .NET or Windows 2000 storage node host computer.
|
|
| Notes: |
|
|
| • For Windows .NET and Windows XP Professional systems, use the |
|
|
| following procedure only as a last resort for recovering a NetWorker |
|
|
| client or storage node. Instead, use the ASR recovery method if possible. |
|
|
| For more information, see “Performing Windows ASR Recovery” on page |
|
|
| 53. |
|
|
| • Before you begin the recovery procedures, identify all Legato products |
|
|
| (such as SmartMedia®, ClientPak®, and NetWorker Modules) and any |
|
|
| associated patches that were installed prior to the disaster. You must |
|
|
| reinstall any Legato backup software and patches that are unusable or |
|
|
| appear to be damaged. For more information, refer to the appropriate |
|
|
| product installation guide. |
|
|
| • You can recover a NetWorker client or storage node to the original |
|
|
| |
|
|
| computer, or to a different computer. |

|
|
| should understand the information about SYSTEM save sets in the Legato |
|
|
| NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, Microsoft Windows Version. |
|
| Partial Recovery of a NetWorker Storage Node | |
|
|
| In most cases, the NetWorker server should be fully functional before you |
|
|
| begin recovery of its associated clients or storage nodes. However, if the |
|
|
| storage device required for a NetWorker server recovery is connected to a |
|
|
| remote storage node, you might have to partially recover the storage node |
|
|
| before you can recover the NetWorker server. In that case: |
