Bootable CD Method Disaster Recovery Requirements

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

• An Arcserve Backup machine-specific recovery disk for the computer that failed.
• If Windows XP Professional was installed on the original system, a Windows XP CD is needed. If Windows Server 2003 was installed, the Windows 2003 CD of the correct edition (for example, Web, Standard, or Enterprise Edition) is needed.
• The Arcserve Backup CD/DVD.

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