Important: To perform an ASR recovery, you must have an official Microsoft
Windows installation CD for the version of Windows you are recovering. If
you have only an OEM recovery CD that includes the Windows installation
files, skip this section and proceed to “Recovering a Windows Installation” on
page 60. Refer to the OEM documentation as necessary.
ASR Recovery Requirements
To perform an ASR recovery of a NetWorker client host computer, you need:
• The ASR disk for the computer you are recovering. If a current ASR disk
or ASR save set is not available for the failed NetWorker client host
computer, you must use the legacy NetWorker disaster recovery method.
For a guide to the required procedures, see “Recovering a NetWorker
Client or Storage Node” on page 82.
• The official Microsoft Windows .NET or Windows XP Professional
installation CD for the computer you are recovering
• The latest NetWorker backup for the computer you are recovering
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.
Task 1: Perform an ASR Recovery of the NetWorker Client Computer
To perform an ASR recovery of the NetWorker client computer:
1. On the NetWorker client computer you are recovering, boot from the
Windows .NET or Windows XP Professional installation CD.
Note: You may need to run the BIOS setup program to configure the computer
to boot from the CD-ROM drive. For the procedure, refer to the computer
manufacturer’s documentation.
2. Watch closely at the beginning of the boot process. If prompted, press a
key to boot from the CD-ROM drive.
3. During the text-mode phase of Windows setup, watch the lower portion
of the screen. When prompted, press [F2] to display the ASR Recovery
menu. Follow the instructions on the screen.
