boot relevant hardware or application configurations. The default kb.cfg file already
contains all files necessary for industry standard hardware configurations.
Create and execute a test plan using the default version of the kb.cfg file. If the DR
OS does not boot normally or cannot access network, then you may need to modify
the file. Refer to “Editing the kb.cfg file” on page 107.
CAUTION:
It is recommended to restrict access to backup media due to security reasons.
Preparing the encryption keys
For a Cell Manager recovery or an offline client recovery, you must ensure that the
encryption keys are available during the disaster recovery by storing them on a
removable medium. For a Cell Manager recovery, prepare the removable medium
in advance, before the disaster occurs.
The encryption keys are not part of the DR OS image file. During the disaster recovery
image creation, the keys are automatically exported to the Cell Manager to the file
Data_Protector_program_data\Config\Server\export\keys\
DR-ClientName-keys.csv (Windows Server 2008),
Data_Protector_home\Config\Server\export\keys\
DR-ClientName-keys.csv (other Windows systems), or
/var/opt/omni/server/export/keys/DR-ClientName-keys.csv (UNIX
systems), where ClientName is the name of the client for which the image is being
created.
Ensure that you have the correct encryption key for each backup that is prepared for
a disaster recovery.
Recovery
You need the following to successfully perform a disaster recovery on the affected
system:
• A new hard disk to replace your affected disk (if needed).
• A bootable backup medium with all critical objects of the client that you want to
recover.
• An OBDR device connected locally to the target system.
