Recovering a NetWorker Client or Storage Node
This section explains how to recover a Windows NetWorker client host
computer or a Windows .NET or Windows 2000 storage node host computer.
Notes:
• For Windows .NET and Windows XP Professional systems, use the
following procedure only as a last resort for recovering a NetWorker
client or storage node. Instead, use the ASR recovery method if possible.
For more information, see “Performing Windows ASR Recovery” on page
53.
• Before you begin the recovery procedures, identify all Legato products
(such as SmartMedia
®
, ClientPak
®
, and NetWorker Modules) and any
associated patches that were installed prior to the disaster. You must
reinstall any Legato backup software and patches that are unusable or
appear to be damaged. For more information, refer to the appropriate
product installation guide.
• You can recover a NetWorker client or storage node to the original
computer, or to a different computer.
To recover the client or storage node, perform the following tasks in the
specified order:
• “Task 1: Satisfy the NetWorker Client or Storage Node Recovery
Requirements” on page 83.
• “Task 2: Reinstall the NetWorker Client or Storage Node Software” on

• “Task 3: Recover the NetWorker Client or Storage Node Data” on page 84
• “Task 4: Verify the NetWorker Client or Storage Node Recovery” on page

should understand the information about SYSTEM save sets in the Legato
NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, Microsoft Windows Version.

before you can recover the NetWorker server. In that case:
