Protected Computer Disaster
Recovery
This topic describes how to use the Disaster Recovery CD-ROM set to restore a
protected computer.
Ideally, the recovered computer should match the originally protected computer in
the following ways.
The hard disk adapter types must match. For example, if the original
computer had an IDE hard disk adapter, the recovered computer cannot have
a SCSI hard disk adapter.
The network adapter card must match.
The drivers required to run the hardware must match.
Each hard disk on the recovered computer must be large enough to hold the
backed up data from each hard disk on the original protected computer.
During Disaster Recovery, HP SureStore AutoBackup cannot separate files
that were backed up from the same drive.
See Replacement PC - Same Specification for further details.
You can also restore a user's account and data onto a recovered computer that does
not match the originally protected computer, but this option must be used with care
because you do not want to overwrite operating system and configuration files on the
recovered computer. See Replacement PC - Different Specification for further
details. (This option would also allow you to recover user data in the unlikely event
that Disaster Recovery from CD-ROM fails and you have to re-install the operating
system.)
Note: If you are running Windows 95/98, a Disaster Recovery cannot be performed
on a protected computer running disk compression software (such as DriveSpace or
Stacker).
