HP Legato Networker manual Task 4 Verify the NetWorker Client or Storage Node Recovery

Task 4: Verify the NetWorker Client or Storage Node Recovery

If you do not select Overwrite Existing File, the recovery process pauses before any existing files are overwritten, and a Naming Conflict dialog box appears, prompting you to indicate how the NetWorker software should resolve filename conflicts.

10. Click Start to begin the recovery.

Note: Files in the Windows Recycle Bin are not password protected. If the

Password Protection dialog box appears, select Recover > OK to recover them.

11.Check the log file to verify that no error messages were generated during the recovery sessions. The NetWorker software logs information about the recovery process to the <NetWorker_install_path>\logs file. This file is overwritten each time a recovery is performed. If there are error messages in the log file, you might need to run the recovery again after addressing the source of the errors.

12.After recovery, reboot the computer to completely restore the system-protected files and restart services that were automatically stopped prior to recovery.

Note: If you perform a complete reinstallation of the Windows operating system during a disaster recovery, the display resolution will be set to default

4values when the disaster recovery is complete. To reconfigure to the previous display settings, use the Control Panel Display tool. This problem does not occur if you perform an ASR recovery on a Windows .NET or Windows XP Professional NetWorker client.

Note: By default, the directed recover option is enabled when you install the NetWorker client. If the directed recover option was disabled on the client before the disaster, you need to explicitly set this option to disable directed recoveries to this client. This option is set through the nsradmin command. For more information about setting the disable directed recover option on the NetWorker client, refer to the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, Windows Version.
