Disaster Recovery Requirements in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

To recover from a disaster using the Bootable CD method, you need the following:

• Arcserve Backup machine-specific recovery disk for the computer that failed. This is the disk you created following the instructions in section Create Machine-Specific Recovery Disks.
• If Windows XP Professional (64-bit) was installed on the original system, a Microsoft Windows XP CD is needed. If Windows Server 2003 (64-bit) was installed, the Windows Server 2003 installation media of the correct edition (for example, Web, Standard, or Enterprise Edition) is needed.
• The Arcserve Backup installation media

Important! During recovery, the disaster recovery process automatically partitions your hard disk per the original configuration. You can only use the machine-specific recovery disk to perform a disaster recovery on this computer.
