Task 3: Locate the Server’s Bootstrap Save Set ID
This section describes how to locate the save set ID for the NetWorker server’s
latest bootstrap. The NetWorker server’s bootstrap contains the server’s online
file index, media index, and resource configuration files.
Use the following steps to locate the save set ID of the most recent bootstrap if
you do not have this information:
1. Insert the most recent media or clone volumes used for scheduled backups
into the appropriate device.
2. At the NetWare system console, switch to the directory where the
NetWorker NLMs are located. By default, these files are located in the
SYS:NSR\BIN directory.
3. Use the scanner -B command to locate the most recent bootstrap on the
media.
Task 4: Recover the NetWorker Server Bootstrap
This section describes how to recover the NetWorker server’s bootstrap. By
default, these files reside in the SYS:NSR and SYS:NSR\RES directories, and
can be recovered using the NetWorker Utilities program.
To recover the NetWorker bootstrap:
1. Load and inventory the devices. This ensures that the NetWorker software
can recognize which slots contain which volumes.
If you load a clone volume into a device, the NetWorker software will use
the clone volume for the remainder of the recovery process. You might
have to update the volume location to indicate that the original volume is
not available.
2. Start the NetWorker Utilities program by entering the following
command at the NetWare system console:
load NETUTIL
Important: Disable scheduled backups and do not use the NetWorker software
to perform backups or recoveries while running the NetWorker Utilities
program. If backup and recovery processes are enabled, the state of the
NetWorker indexes will become confused. From the NetWorker Utilities
dialog box, select Recover from a Disaster.
