To successfully perform a disaster recovery of the crashed system, you
need the following:
• A new hard disk to replace your crashed disk.
• A successful full client backup of the client that you want to recover.
• Updated ASR set.
• Windows installation medium.
ASR Procedure The following is a step-by-step procedure for performing ASR:
1. Boot from the Windows installation medium.
2. Press
F2 during the start of the OS setup to enter the ASR mode.
3. Provide the first (updated) diskette from the ASR set.
4. After reboot, Disaster Recovery Wizard pops-up and requires input
for the DR installation source and SRD Path. DR installation
and SRD file are both located on the first diskette of the ASR set
(a:\).
5. Change diskette(s) when prompted.
Original storage structure will be automatically reestablished and all
critical data automatically restored based on the information in the
ASR set.
6. Reboot the system when prompted and remove the Windows
installation medium and ASR diskette.

restore procedure.
