Disaster Recovery Planning Using SDR
Backup Exec 2012 introduces an improved method of disaster recovery called Simplified Disaster Recovery (SDR).
The primary role of the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance is to protect the files, databases, and critical
applications of other computer systems. Steps must be taken to ensure that the appliance can be recovered should a
disaster strike. When a hardware failure, software error, or a natural disaster affects the appliance, you must reinstall
the following:
The appliance operating system
Backup Exec
Appliance updates
Other applications
If the Backup Exec database is lost or corrupted, you must manually recreate backup jobs, policies, and schedules. You
cannot run backup and recovery jobs until the appliance is fully operational. To adequately prepare the appliance, you
must perform the following:
Schedule a full backup of the appliance to run on a regular basis.
Maintain the Backup Exec and optional Deduplication services passwords.
Backup Exec SDR
Backup Exec SDR is a bare metal recovery solution that allows you to recover the appliance in the event of a complete
catastrophic software or hardware failure. SDR restores the appliance system software to the state of the last full
backup set. This includes all files and software installed on the appliance.
The DL Appliance Media kit includes a 32-bit and 64-bit system recovery DVD called the
Simplified Disaster Recovery
Disk
. The 64-bit SDR DVD can be used to recover the DL Appliance. For more information on SDR, see the
Symantec
Backup Exec Administrator's Guide
at symantec.com.
SDR Restrictions and Limitations
SDR requires Backup to Disk virtual disks to backup the critical system files and system state. If the appliance
configuration contains a deduplication disk storage (DDS) and no Backup to Disk virtual disks, you cannot use SDR to
recover the operating system. See the topic “Recovery Solution Map” and follow the non-IDR or non-SDR recovery
steps based on the failure type to recover the appliance. For more information on SDR, see the
Symantec Backup Exec
Administrator's Guide
at symantec.com.
Preparing The System To Use SDR
To prepare the system for using SDR, follow the steps below:
