CHAPTER

Disaster Recovery

Use the information in this chapter to determine which disaster recovery procedures you should follow for Backup for servers and clients. You should have already read "Chapter 1," which explains how to prepare for recovering from a disaster and defines basic terms, procedures, and concepts used throughout this guide. This chapter includes procedures for recovering from the following kinds of disasters:
*Loss of a drive or partition that contains critical data other than the operating
system or Backup software
*Loss of the operating system
*Loss of a drive or partition that contains Backup software, which typically
includes the Backup indexes and configuration files
*Loss of an entire Backup server to the extent that you need to recover to a new
system
It is difficult to provide step-by-step instructions for performing a disaster recovery for a specific situation, because every situation is unique. The examples in this chapter are designed to give you general principles to recover from a disaster and to help you understand the procedures.

Requirements
