Chapter 8 Disaster Recovery Disaster recovery entails creating the files you need to recover a SnapServer's configuration information, such as network and RAID configurations, as well as volume-specific information, such as ACLs and quota settings. It also includes what to do if all access to the data on a SnapServer is cut off due to a hardware or software failure. Focus is placed on the procedures for: • Reinstalling the SnapServer operating system • Restoring the server to its original configuration with data intact These files are then used to restore any SnapServer to its original state. The disaster recovery feature can also be used to clone one server to another by restoring the disaster recovery image from one server to another server. Topics in Disaster Recovery Management: • Backing Up Server and Volume Settings • Backing Up the NetVault Database Directory • Recovering the NetVault Database • Disaster Recovery Procedural Overview • Cloning a Server Backing Up Server and Volume Settings In addition to backing up the data stored on the SnapServer, you may also back up the server's system and volume settings. The Maintenance > Disaster Recovery screen allows you to create the files you need to restore these settings: • Server-specific settings such as network, RAID, volume and share configurations, local user and group lists, snapshot schedules, and EDR Management Console settings (if applicable). • Volume-specific settings such as ACLs, extended attributes, and quota settings.
