Exploring your computer
You can explore the files and folders on your computer from the recovery
environment by using the Explore My Computer feature.
This feature uses the Recovery Point Browser and functions similarly to Windows
Explorer. You can browse the file structure of any drive that is attached to your
computer from the recovery environment.
To explore your computer
◆
In the Analyze pane, click Explore My Computer.
Using the networking tools in the recovery
environment
If you store your recovery points on a network, you need access to the network
to restore your computer or your files and folders from the recovery environment.
Note: Additional computer memory might be required to recover your computer
across a network.
Starting networking services
If you need to start networking services, you can do so manually.
To start networking services
◆
On the Network panel, click Start My Networking Services.
To verify the connection to the network, you can map a network drive.
See “Mapping a network drive in the recovery environment ” on page 166.
Using the pcAnywhere thin host for a remote recovery
The Symantec Recovery Disk includes a pcAnywhere thin host, which lets you
remotely access a computer in the recovery environment. The pcAnywhere thin
host contains the minimum settings that are needed to support a single-use remote
control session. The thin host requires an IP address for hosting a remote control
session.
