9. If the recovery.srd file is saved in the same directory as dr1.cab and
omnicab.ini files, drstart copies recovery.srd file to the
%SystemRoot%\system32\OB2DR\bin directory and the omnidr utility is
started automatically. Otherwise, enter the location of SRD file (recovery.srd)
in the SRD Path field or browse for the file. Click Next.
If multiple SRD files are found on the floppy disk, Data Protector will ask you to
select an appropriate version of the SRD file.
After omnidr successfully finishes, all critical objects required for a proper boot
of the system are restored.
10. Remove the temporary Data Protector user account (added in step Step 4) from
the Data Protector admin group on the Cell Manager, unless it existed on the
Cell Manager before the disaster recovery.
11. Restart the system, log on, and verify that the restored applications are running.
12. Additional steps are required if you are recovering a Cell Manager or performing
advanced recovery tasks (such as restoring MSCS or IIS, editing the kb.cfg
and SRD files). See “Restoring the Data Protector Cell Manager specifics
” on page 103 and “Advanced recovery tasks” on page 96 for more information.
13. Use Data Protector to restore user and application data.
The temporary DR OS will be deleted after the first login, except in the following
cases:
• You have interrupted the Disaster Recovery wizard during the 10 seconds pause
after it has found the DR installation and SRD file on the backup medium, and
have selected the Debugs option.
• You have manually started the omnidr command with the -no_reset or -debug
option.
• Disaster recovery fails.

To perform the Disk Delivery Disaster Recovery, use a working Data Protector client
(Data Protector disaster recovery host) to create the new disk while connected to this
client. The administrator has to ensure before the disaster that enough data is collected
to correctly format and partition the disk. However, Data Protector automatically
stores the relevant information as part of the configuration backup.
The recovered partitions are:
