Prerequisites for Disaster
Recovery
Disaster recovery is initiated by creating bootable CD-ROM disks, and using them to
help recreate the information on the hard disk of the protected computer. To run the
Disaster Recovery directly from CD-ROM(s), the user must have a bootable EIDE
CD-ROM drive. If the user has a non-bootable EIDE drive or a SCSI drive, disaster
recovery is still possible, but you will need to create a boot floppy at the same time as
the CD-ROM set.
HP recommends the use of CD-R media for the disaster recovery CD-ROM set. If
you use CD-RW media, you must make sure that the CD drive in the protected
computer is compatible with CD-RW media.
IMPORTANT: Before performing a Disaster Recovery on a protected computer,
you should temporarily disable any scheduled backup for that computer on the day
that the Disaster Recovery is running. Otherwise, HP SureStore AutoBackup might
try to start a backup during the Disaster Recovery process. Remember to reinstate
backups once the Disaster Recovery has completed successfully. (Select Configure
Backup Options from the Manage Protected Computer screen to change the backup
schedule for the protected computer. )
