Troubleshooting disaster recovery backups
When creating disaster recovery backups, any of the following problems may occur:
•
Unable to find files
Open the
Logs
view and examine the log file for the disaster recovery wizard that you ran. This will
list the file that was not found. All files must reside in “standard” directory locations provided by the
operating system, that is, \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS subdirectory under Windows NT and
SYS:SYSTEM or C:\NWSERVER under NetWare. If the file is not a driver file for your hardware,
