Disaster Recovery in a SAN
Configuration
BrightStor ARCserve Backup Disaster Recovery Option supports Storage Area
Network (SAN) configurations. You can recover primary servers and distributed
servers in the SAN settings in Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 environments.
Backing Up the SAN
There are no special configurations or settings required to recover primary and
distributed servers. The option can recover any SAN server
,
provided a full
machine backup was performed using BrightStor ARCserve Backup.
You must, however, collect all necessary drivers for any SCSI cards, Fibre Channel
cards, and network cards.
Recovering the SAN
To recover primary or distributed servers, use the Windows 2000 or Windows 2003
disaster recovery procedure. The option can determine if the current server is a
primary server or distributed server.
If the current server is a primary server, the option connects to the SAN and
uses the devices on the SAN.
If the current server is a distributed server, the option contacts the primary
server in the SAN. The option uses the devices in the SAN through the primary
server.
