If this system is a server, continue with the disaster recovery by restoring the Backup indexes and configuration files. See "How to Recover Backup Indexes and Configuration Files" on page 23 for instructions.
If this system is a Backup client or storage node, see "How to Recover Backup Clients and Storage Nodes for instructions.

How to Recover Backup Clients and Storage Nodes

To recover clients and storage nodes, you simply need to reinstall the Backup client
and storage node software, and then recover their configuration files, using the
nwrecoverprogram.
The Backup clients and storage nodes, similar to Backup servers, each have a
/nsr
directory that contains special configurations created during the initial installation.
During the disaster recovery procedure, you will recover the
/nsrdirectory, which
restores the clients and storage nodes to their status prior to the disaster.
To recover a Backup client or storage node, follow these steps: 1.Log on as root.
2.
Start the
nwrecoverprogram.
3.
Click the Recover speedbar button to open the Recover window.
Backup displays the system's directory structure in the Recover window. 4.Select and mark the Backup directory for recovery.
5.
Click the Start speedbar button to begin the recovery.
6.
Restart
nsrexecd.
The Backup client or storage node should be restored to the status it had prior to the
disk crash.

How to Recover Backup Indexes and Configuration Files

These steps only apply to Backup servers; because only servers store and maintain the indexes and configuration files. Use the mmrecovcommand to recover the Backup indexes and configuration files that reside in the /nsrdirectory.
