CAUTION:
In order for user data to be retained on two-drive systems, the data volume must be a
single, mirrored volume as initially con
fi
gured by the factory.
If you choose to restore only the operating system on two-drive systems, you need to
manually recreate mirrors of your operating system and data volumes after the system is
recovered and Windows boots. Instructions are provided when you log in.
On systems with more than two physical drives, the system and data volumes are on
different logical drives supported by hardware RAID, so the system may be recovered
without affecting the data.
4.
After the factory image is restored, Data Protection Manager will be already installed, but mini-setup
will need to be run again. You may then restore your latest system state backup, and then the DPM
databases and replicas. Refer to “Restoring a DPM Server” in the
Microsoft System Center Data
Protection Manager Operations Guide
for more details.
Systems with a DON’T ERASE partition
The DON’T ERASE logical disk supports the restoration process only and does not host a secondary
operating system. Be sure to back up your user data, and then use the System Recovery and Installation
DVD to restore the server to the factory state.
Managing disks after a restoration
After a system has been restored, drive letters may be assigned to the wrong volume. Windows Storage
Server 2003 assigns drive letters after the restoration in the order of discovery. To help maintain drive
letter information, placing the drive letter into a volume label is recommended. To change the drive letters
to the appropriate one, go into Disk Management and perform the following steps for each volume:
1.
Right-click the volume that needs to be changed.
2.
Select
Change drive Letter and Paths
.
3.
In the Change drive Letter and Paths dialog box, select
Change
.
4.
Select the appropriate drive letter, and click
OK
.
5.
Click
Yes
to con
fi
rm the drive letter change.
6.
Click
Yes
to continue. If the old drive letter needs to be reused, reboot the server after clicking Yes.
