7.1. Recovery: 5big Backup Server

In case Windows Home Server or Disk 1 (the disk that hosts the op-
erating system) encounter problems, the tools to restore or recover
the server are included in the contents of your 5big Backup Server
packaging (1.1. Box Content). The process requires booting the
server from a system recovery USB 2.0 flash drive and running the
5big Backup Server Recovery DVD on a Windows workstation within
the same network. When running the 5big Backup Server Recovery
DVD, you will have the option to preserve data on the Storage
Hard Drives, reformat Disk 1 alone, or erase all files by reverting
the system back to factory settings.
While one hopes never to experience a problem, it is critical to
prepare for all eventualities. Therefore, soon after setting up your
network server, LaCie highly recommends that you create a server
recovery USB 2.0 flash drive.

Server Recovery USB 2.0 Flash Drive

Server Recovery Key is a program that guides you through the server
recovery disk creation in a few easy steps. Server Recovery Key may
be found within the contents of Server Recovery DVD> Applica-
tions.
Before starting, please note the following:
✦ Use a small capacity USB 2.0 flash drive (512 MB, for ex-
ample) as a recovery disk. A USB 2.0 flash drive larger than
8GB may be problematic due to format conflicts. Do not use
older USB 1.1 or USB hard drives as system recovery disks.
✦ Creating a system recovery USB 2.0 flash drive requires Win-
dows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008.
