Complete the Bootable Tape Method Disaster Recovery Process in <win> Server 2003 in Express Mode

You must complete the Disaster recovery process on the Windows Server 2003 using the following procedure.

To complete the disaster recovery process

1. In the disaster recovery wizard, select Express Mode and click Next.

   Express Mode uses all the default settings as recorded on the backup tape to restore the system with very minimal user interaction.

   

2. Select the Express mode, and click Next.

   The Enter caroot Password dialog opens.

   

   As the disaster recovery session has to be restored during this period, you will be prompted to provide the caroot password. This could be for one of the following reasons:

   • At least one session was encrypted by a key or protected by a password.
   • When you set to Save Current Session/Encryption Password to the Arcserve Backup database in the global option during backup.
   • The caroot password is not empty.

   Note: This password is required to work with the saved session password or the encryption key to restore encrypted or password protected sessions. Enter the correct caroot password, if necessary, to avoid manual decryption of each session.

3. Enter the password, and click OK to start the restore process.

   The Disaster Recovery process is complete.

   Note: You can use the keyboard shortcut Shift+ r on the Disaster Recovery wizard to reboot.

   When your computer restarts, it is restored to the state it was in at the time of the last full backup.
