HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User Manual page 295

Slot 1 must contain the first (or only) bootable media from the most recent full backup. When
you use the Overwrite all media option, Data Protector Express makes each media bootable. For
example, if the full backup uses three media, all three media are bootable.
3. Perform any special steps for booting your computer from the tape drive (refer to your tape drive and
system documentation). Most bootable drives use a combination of power cycling and pressing the
Eject button on the front panel. Many also require that you update the computer BIOS.
For disaster recovery, use only full backup media that were created with the Overwrite all
media option. After disaster recovery is complete and your system has restarted, use the standard
Data Protector Express options to restore any incremental or differential media to your system. The
standard Data Protector Express restore procedure optimizes restoration and restores incremental and
differential media faster than the disaster recovery process.
4. When the Disaster Recovery (Phase 2) screen appears, select one of the following options:
Recover Boot Disk: Select this option to only recover the boot disk. Use it if your boot disk is
•
corrupt or if you replaced the boot disk. This option does not usually affect the data on other hard
disks.
Recover Entire System: Select this option to recover data to multiple hard disks, including the
•
boot disk. Use this option if you replaced one or more hard disks.
If you are restoring a LINUX system, the only option is to Recover Entire System, there is no
option to Recover Boot Disk.
5. Press Enter.
6. If a warning screen appears, read it and then press F10.
7. Read through each information screen. Press F10 to advance to the next screen.
8. When the first confirmation message appears (Are you sure?), select the appropriate Yes option and
press Enter.
9. When the second confirmation message appears, select Yes, Perform the Recovery and press Enter.
The system does not require any input from you until it finishes restoring the first tape to your
system. Restoring the first tape can take from 15 minutes to two or three hours, depending on the
amount of data on the tape, the speed and capabilities of the tape drive and whether you are
recovering the entire system or just the boot disk.
10. After the system has restored the tape, it asks you to insert the next tape to restore. Select Yes or press
F10 to restore another tape.
11. After restoring the last tape, remove the tape.
