Recovering a NetWorker Server
This section explains how to recover a NetWorker server on a Windows .NET
or Windows 2000 host computer.
Important:
Before you begin a NetWorker server recovery, you should
understand the information about SYSTEM save sets in the Legato NetWorker
Administrator’s Guide, Microsoft Windows Version.
Note: For Windows .NET systems, use the following procedure only as a last
resort for recovering a NetWorker server. Instead, use the ASR recovery
method if possible. For more information, see
“Performing Windows ASR
Recovery” on page 53 .
NetWorker Server Recovery Requirements
To recover a NetWorker server requires:
• The same release and patch level of the NetWorker software that was in
use immediately prior to the disaster
• The installation path of the NetWorker software prior to the disaster
• Backup or clone volumes that contain the NetWorker server’s most recent
bootstrap, client file indexes, and filesystem data
Note: To avoid delays during a recovery, if you routinely move NetWorker
backup media to an offsite location for safekeeping, ensure that all necessary
volumes are available. To list the media associated with the files you want to
recover, run mminfo -mv from the command prompt. For more information
about the mminfo command, refer to the Legato Command Reference Guide.
