NAS 1000s Administration Guide
Readiness Testing
Completing regular backups is important, but it is only the first step in the backup process. To
verify the integrity of those backups, the administrator must conduct periodic testing to
confirm the ability to recover files and directories. Regularly testing the recoverability of
random files or directories ensures that the backup solution is working as planned.
Disaster Recovery
Disasters that cause the loss of an entire server or server operating system drives require a
complete restoration of the server. The specific procedure for recovering from a disaster
depends on your environment, the backup software, and the optional disaster recovery
modules that may have been installed.
In general, it is necessary to complete the following steps to fully recover from a disaster:
■
Power up the server using the secondary boot partition.
■
Backup the data using the installed backup application.
■
Use the QuickRestore process to reinstall the NAS 1000s system image.
Caution:
Performing a QuickRestore process will destroy all data on the server. Make sure to
perform a backup of the data before performing a QuickRestore.
■
Reinstall the backup application.
■
Add the NAS 1000s into the appropriate domain.
■
Re-establish user accounts if the NAS 1000s is a part of a workgroup.
If the files were retained, re-establish user rights to drives, files, and directories.
Note:
Being a part of a domain negates this requirement.
■
Recover the backup application file and media history databases.
■
Recover data from backup applications.
■
Recover the system state.
■
Re-create file shares.
