Node Disaster Recovery Status Report

This Node Disaster Recovery Status Report displays the number of nodes that were successfully backed up during the specified time period and which of those nodes contain and do not contain disaster recovery (DR) protected information. The nodes that contain DR protected information can be recovered by using either of the following processes:

The nodes that do not contain DR protected information can have the data restored, but cannot be recovered. The Nodes Disaster Recovery Status Report is helpful in analyzing and determining which nodes are adequately protected for disaster recovery, and which ones could be potential problem areas.

Disaster recovery is a backup and recovery process used to protect computing environments against the loss of data caused by a catastrophic events or natural disasters. There are many time consuming tasks, including installation of the base operating systems and setup of the servers, which would usually have to be manually performed after a disaster. The disaster recovery process lets you restore your server reliably, making more efficient use of time by taking you from boot media, to backup media, to an operational state and allows users with minimal server configuration experience to recover sophisticated systems. Disaster recovery is based on the concept of collecting and saving machine-specific information before a disaster strikes.
