Special Considerations for Staging

When using the disk staging feature, there are some special considerations that can potentially affect the disaster recovery process. The following is a list of best practices and considerations specifically for disaster recovery:

• Do not stage the backup of the local backup server itself on disks.
• When performing remote disaster recovery, if the restore process cannot locate a backup session in the staging devices, the backup session may have been purged from the staging device. If so, create a new machine-specific recovery disk from the backup server and restart the disaster recovery process using the new recovery disk.
