NetWorker V7.3, Disaster Recovery Guide

Chapter 4: Windows Disaster Recovery

This chapter explains how to recover from a disaster on a host computer in the following configurations:

• NetWorker V7.x server or storage node on Microsoft Windows 2003 or

Windows 2000

• NetWorker V7.x client on Microsoft Windows 2003, Windows XP

Professional, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0

Note:

The term autochanger refers to a variety of robotic data storage devices, including autoloaders, carousels, datawheels, jukeboxes, and near-line storage.

Although a Microsoft Removable Storage library can be either an autochanger or a stand-alone drive, the NetWorker software provides optional Removable

Storage support for autochangers only. For more information, refer to the

NetWorker Administrator’s Guide.
