General Usability Question: How can I update the machine-specific disk if my BrightStor ARCserve Backup server fails? Answer: You can update a machine-specific disk if you configure an alternate location for backups during or shortly after installing the option. To update a machine-specific disk on a backup server, access the alternate location and copy the contents of the folder representing the server that you want to recover and copy its contents to a blank disk. This is your machine-specific disk for the failed server. If the failed server contains a Windows XP or Windows 2003 operating system, you must also copy the contents of the DRPATCH.XP folder to the new disk. Tip: To achieve the highest level of disaster recovery support, you should set up an alternate location for disaster recovery during installation or immediately after installing the option. Question: How do I reconfigure or set up alternate location information after the BrightStor Disaster Recovery Option has been set up? Answer: In the Create Boot Kit Wizard, click the Config button at the bottom of the screen. Question: If I receive file-sharing violations during a backup operation, can I still use sessions from that tape for disaster recovery? Answer: Yes, you can use these sessions for disaster recovery if you did not deselect anything from the drive for the backup. Note: The backup operation does not back up open files and as such cannot be restored during the disaster recovery process. Frequently Asked Questions C-5
