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

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

To complete the disaster recovery process

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

   Advanced Mode stores specific custom restore parameters to adapt to any change in the environment.

   

   The Enter caroot Password dialog opens.

   

2. Enter the password, and click OK.

   The Network connections dialog appears followed by the Session dialog.

3. Select the session that you want to restore, and click Next.

   

   You can enter the password for each session depending on the status of each key at the end of each row in the Session Assign dialog. Types of keys include:

   • When the session has a key option, it means that the session was encrypted by a key, but the key was not saved in the database. You must provide the encryption key to restore these sessions.
   • When the session has a key option with a tick mark, then the session was encrypted by key or protected by password and the encryption key or session password was saved in the database. No encryption key/session password is required to restore these sessions.
   • When the session has a key option with a question mark, it means that the session password status is unknown. You can enter the session password, if necessary.

   The Summary dialog opens.

   

4. Verify the Summary list.
5. Click Start Disaster Recovery to start the process.

   The data is copied from the specified sessions to the specified partitions. A progress bar shows the progress of the restore process.

   Note: You can run most of the 32-bit Windows programs, such as regedit.exe, from the DOS prompt window. Click Utilities, and select Run to open a Windows command line console window.

   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.
