(disk partitioning and logical volume configuration) and automatic recovery of the original system configuration and user data that was backed up during the full client backup.

These files are stored as an ASR archive file on the Cell Manager (in <Data_Protector_home>\Config\Serve r\dr\asr on a Windows Cell Manager or in /etc/opt/omni/server/dr/asr/ on a UNIX Cell Manager) as well as on the backup medium. The ASR archive file is extracted to three diskettes for 32-bit Windows systems or four diskettes for 64-bit Windows systems after a disaster occurs. You need these diskettes to perform ASR.
