• Errors regarding the recovery of Windows system-protected files
For information about how the NetWorker software handles the Windows
system state and system-protected files, refer to the Legato NetWorker
Administrator’s Guide, Microsoft Windows Version.
3. Ensure that the storage node and the NetWorker server can detect the
storage devices the NetWorker server is to use.
4. Perform a test recovery using each of the Legato backup products you
have installed. Recover data with the Legato product used to back it up.
Refer to the product documentation as necessary.
5. Perform a test backup to the NetWorker server to ensure that the
connection between the NetWorker client or storage node and the
NetWorker server is working properly.
6. Verify that any applications (such as Microsoft Office) that were running
prior to the disaster have been properly restored. To verify this, run each
application and open a previously saved document.
7. If you want to use Active Desktop, install it after you have recovered all of
the computer’s data.
8. If the NetWorker client or storage node computer was previously
configured as a domain controller:
Windows 2000 — Verify that the drives configured to store the Active
Directory database and log files have been recovered.
Windows NT 4.0 — If the computer is a Primary Domain Controller,
synchronize it with the domain. If the computer is a Backup Domain
Controller, synchronize it with the Primary Domain Controller.
Recovery of DHCP and WINS Databases
Microsoft does not provide an application program interface (API) for backup
and recovery of the DHCP and WINS databases. Therefore, these databases
are not included in the NetWorker SYSTEM DB save set. However, NetWorker
software can be configured to protect these databases.
