Disaster Recovery
Restoring the Data Protector Cell Manager Specifics
Chapter 10488
• Disaster recovery CD for the Cell Manager should be prepared in
advance.
IMPORTANT You have to perform a new backup and prepare a new DR CD after each
hardware, software or configuration change. This also applies to any
network changes, such as change of IP address or DNS server.
• In addition to the Cell Manager, you should save the updated SRD
file of the Cell Manager on several secure locations as a part of the
disaster recovery preparation policy, because the SRD file is the only
file in Data Protector where information about objects and media is
stored, when IDB is not available. If the SRD file is saved only on the
Cell Manager, it is not accessible if the Cell Manager fails. See
“Preparation” on page 451.
IMPORTANT It is recommended to restrict access to backup media, DR images, SRD
files and disaster recovery CDs.
One Button Disaster Recovery Specifics
Since the IDB is not available if the Cell Manager has crashed, you have
to know the location of OBDR bootable medium.
IMPORTANT You have to perform a new OBDR backup and prepare a new bootable
medium after each hardware, software or configuration change. This also
applies to any network changes, such as change of IP address or DNS
server.
IMPORTANT It is recommended to restrict access to backup media.
