Data Protector Express User Guide (TC330-96005, September 2011)

5. If you are recovering a client machine, choose the appropriate option indicating how you
want to restore your data:
a. To restore your data over the network, choose Recover your system from media and
devices anywhere in the backup domain.
b. To restore you data using only media read locally from an attached or internal device,
choose recover your system using devices attached only to this machine.
NOTE: Because you cannot perform Network Recovery on a Backup Server, when recovering
the Backup Server, local restore is assumed and you are not given a choice.
6. Once the recovery manager has been started, if you selected Network Recovery in step 5
above, you will be instructed to use your Backup Administrator, running on another machine,
to create and run a restore job to complete recovery. You can skip to step 11.
If you selected Local Recovery in step 5 above, the Disaster Recovery Wizard displays a list
of source and target devices available on the system.
a. In the top list, select one or more source devices that you want to restore data from by
placing a checkmark next to them.
b. In the bottom list, select one or more target hard drives to restore. You do not need to
restore all of them.
NOTE: You must select at least one source device and at least one target device. If you don’t
see all of the devices in the list that you expect, you can load a driver or rescan for devices.
• To load a driver, click the Load a driver link and then browse to the driver file for the
device. The driver must be Vista or Server 2008 compatible in order to be loaded.
• To rescan for devices, click the Refresh link. This is useful if you plug in a new SCSI device
or some other device that is not plug and play compatible.
7. If you have a tape loader as a source device, you can select it and choose the slots from which
you will restore data. By default, all slots are selected.
8. After clicking Next, you will see a list of all the volumes that were mounted when the backup
was made. Each of these volumes is classified as critical or not critical, and mount points are
shown as children of each volume.
A volume classified as critical cannot be deselected. You can deselect non-critical volumes
and the recovery manager will not restore any files from those volumes. If you are using local
recovery, unrestored files will show up as skipped in the recovery status page.
Click the Next button to start the recovery.
9. The status of the recovery is displayed while it is in progress.
10. When the recovery finishes or is cancelled, you will see a summary of what happened. If not
all of the important objects were restored, you will be warned, with each important, unrestored
object listed.
11. Once the recover has successfully completed, you will need to click the Reboot button to restart
your system. After reboot, your system should be ready to log in and use.
NOTE: Once the recovery is complete, it may be necessary to restore additional incremental
backups from other media. Also, SQL data and Exchange data from prior to Exchange 2010 will
need to be restored in a separate step using a standard Restore job created through the Tasks
menu on the Backup Server.
If you used Local Disaster Recovery and you had incremental and differential backup media since
the last full backup, use Data Protector Express to restore the data from your incremental and
differential backup media.
