Chapter 4: Windows Disaster Recovery

2.Ensure that all drives that contained system information prior to the disaster are accessible. The system information includes the boot partition, system partition, and the partition that contains the databases and database logs for the system state components.

3.Start the NetWorker User program.

4.Click the Recover button.

5.In the Source Client dialog box, select the computer you are recovering and click OK.

6.In the Destination Client dialog box, select the computer you are recovering and click OK.

7.The computer’s directory structure appears in the Recover window. Mark all appropriate save sets for recovery:

Windows .NET, Windows XP Professional, and Windows 2000:

All local drives

SYSTEM STATE:

SYSTEM FILES:

SYSTEM DB:

4

SHAREPOINT: (for Windows 2000 SharePoint Portal Servers only)

 

Windows NT 4.0:

All local drives

SYSTEM STATE:

REPAIRDISK: (recover only if needed)

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

Note: 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:

Windows .NET, Windows XP Professional, and Windows 2000 %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings

Windows NT 4.0 %SystemRoot%\profiles

8.Select Recover Options from the Option menu.
