The recommended process is to take the hard drive from the second slot (HDD B) of the BounceBack Server appliance off site every night. The spare hard drive that was previously off site can then be inserted in the empty slot (HDD B).
The server administrator can then schedule a time to perform data recovery on the failed internal system drive. The recovery tools BounceBack offers are: Full System Recovery, QuickRestore (files and folders).

The server can then be restarted from the internal drive. Instant Server Recovery: When started from the direct attached backup device, BounceBack will pop up a message with two buttons: Continue or Restore. The Continue button allows the server to continue operating externally.

Disaster Recovery Methods QuickRestore: BounceBack stores data in native file format. Use the built-in QuickRestore or Windows Explorer to perform file and folder level restoration only. These options will not restore the operating system or applications. Advanced Server Restore Techniques: The Rescue Disk and Instant Server Recovery can be used to copy a direct attached storage device onto an internal RAID configuration.
