Local DR using Remote FSD

Valid on Windows XP, Windows 2003, and Windows 2008

Symptom:

I have backed up the CA ARCserve Backup server to a remote file system device. During disaster recovery, can I access the remote file system device and restore the backup data from it?

Solution:

Yes. The file system device configuration is recorded in machine specific disk and you can restore the backup data while performing disaster recovery. Disaster Recovery Option retrieves this and handles the connection automatically.

If there is any change in the authentication information of the server on which the file system device is located, disaster recovery prompt you to enter the new account and password for authentication.
