Replacing or Cloning a Server

Disaster Recovery combined with restore from backup can be used to recover configuration to
a replacement server or to clone a server's configuration to another server.
IMPORTANT: When recovering configuration to a server replacing a failed server, Overland
Storage strongly recommends that you contact a technical service representative before
proceeding.
When recovering configuration, any third-party license keys you have not purchased through
Overland Storage are lost. If you have installed data replication or management utilities such
as Snap EDR, you will need to re-install and/or relicense them for use with the new server.
You will also need to reschedule snapshots and reconfigure CA Antivirus.
