4. On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 systems, the DR OS is loaded
first into memory and then the scope menu is displayed. On other Windows
systems, the scope selection menu is displayed at the beginning of the boot
process.
Select the scope of recovery and press Enter. There are 5 different scopes of
recovery:
• Reboot: Disaster recovery is not performed and the system is restarted.
• Default Recovery: Critical volumes are recovered. All other disks are not
partitioned and formatted and are ready for Phase 3.
• Minimal Recovery: Only system and boot disks are recovered (available for
EADR and OBDR only).
• Full Recovery: All volumes are recovered, not just the critical ones.
• Full with Shared Volumes: Available for Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS)
only. This option should be used if all nodes in the MSCS have been struck
by a disaster and you are performing EADR on the first node. It will recover
all volumes in the Restore Set including cluster shared volumes that were
locked by the backed-up node at backup time.
If at least one node is up and MSCS is running, then shared volumes will not
be restored because the node keeps them locked. In this case, you should
use Default Recovery.
Depending on the platform or operating system, there are additional options
available. Some of them are used in cases where the disaster recovery does not
finish completely or requires additional steps:
• Restore BCD: Available only on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
systems. If selected, Data Protector also restores the Boot Configuration Data
(BCD) store in advance during the disaster recovery session, before it is
restored in the Data Protector restore session. The option is selected by default.
• Restore DAT: Available only on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
systems. If selected, Data Protector also restores Microsoft VSS writers' data
in advance during the disaster recovery session, before they are restored in
the Data Protector restore session. The option is selected by default.
• Remove Boot Descriptor: Available only on Intel Itanium systems. Removes
all Boot Descriptors left over by the disaster recovery processes. See “Intel
Itanium specifics” on page 146
• Manual disk selection: Available only on Intel Itanium systems. If the disk
setup has changed significantly, the disaster recovery module may not be
able to find the boot disk(s). Use this option to select the correct boot disk.
See “Intel Itanium specifics” on page 146.
