IBM 201 manual Granting user access to persistent image files, NAS 200 User’s Reference

2.Insert the recovery diskette in the diskette drive of the NAS 200, and restart the NAS 200.

3.The recovery process begins. The recovery diskette software will locate the first backup image it can find, based on the backup locations specified on the Disaster Recovery Settings panel in Microsoft Windows 2000 for NAS when the diskette was created. Once it has located a backup image it will begin restoring the system drive from the image. During the restore operation the hard disk drive LEDs (on the front right of each hard disk drive) will flash green or stay nearly solid green; this indicates write activity to the system volume.

Note: If the hard disk drive LEDs stay off for at least 10 minutes since you restarted the NAS 200, then there is a problem with the recovery procedure and it will not be able to restore the system volume from a backup image. Should this occur, you will need to use the Recovery CD as described in “Using the Recovery Enablement Diskette and Recovery CD Set” on page 77.

4.When the restore operation completes, the hard disk drive LEDs will turn off, and a short song will play periodically (every 15 seconds). Remove the diskette, set the write-enable tab back to the write-enabled position, and reinsert the diskette. The log file results.htm will be written to the diskette; this log file can be viewed with any Web browser to examine the results of the restore operation.

5.Once the log file is written, another song will play (continuously). Remove the diskette and restart the NAS 200. If the restore was successful, the NAS 200 will come back up in the state it was in at the time you created the backup image used for the recovery operation.

Note: The persistent image that was created on the system drive (named System Backup) by the backup process is restored by the restore process as it is preserved in the backup image. It is recommended that you now delete that persistent image as it is no longer needed. On the Persistent Images panel, select the persistent image named System Backup on drive C: from the list of persistent images, then click Delete, then click OK on the Delete Persistent Image panel that appears.

If the restore was unsuccessful, then you must use the Recovery CD as described in “Using the Recovery Enablement Diskette and Recovery CD Set” on page 77.

Granting user access to persistent image files

You can give end-users access to files in the persistent images. For example, this would be helpful to a user who has accidentally corrupted a file and needs to get an uncorrupted copy of that file.

To enable end-user access to persistent image files, go into Terminal Services. Once you are in Terminal Services, click the My Computer icon. Next, click the volume on which you want to enable persistent image access. Then, go into the persistent images directory and right-click the mouse on your desired persistent image mount point, select Sharing, then specify sharing as desired. If you want to enable the same access to all persistent images on the volume, you can right-click on the persistent images directory (from the top level of the volume), select Sharing, and then specify sharing as desired.
