Protecting Local Disks 20. When the computer restarts, use the appropriate procedure for your system to configure the computer to boot from the local hard disk once more. 21. If you changed the recovery password on the storage system, reset it in the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator* as described in "Resetting the Recovery Password in the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator*" on page 166. 22. Start Intel® Client Backup and Recovery and remove protection from the recovered disk or partition as described in "Removing Protection" on page 126. 23. Protect the recovered disk once again as described in "Protecting Your Disks" on page 98, re-using the original backup. Recovering a System Disk While Booting Remotely If your computer meets the prerequisites, you can remotely boot it from a backup on your storage system and recover your system disk or partition. You can recover only your most recent backup. Note: If you replace the original hard disk, the new disk must be at least as large as the original disk. You must also connect the new hard disk to the same location as the original one. If this is not done, there can be a problem after restoration. In addition, the system to which you are recovering the data must be identical to the original system. For example, if the original system had a particular type of network adapter, the system to which you are recovering the data must have the exact same type of network adapter. Otherwise, the recovered files do not operate properly. Prerequisites Before you recover a disk while booting remotely, the following criteria must be met: • The computer you are remotely booting must be in the same subnet as the storage system. • Remote boot must be enabled for that computer as described in "Enabling Remote Boot" on page 111. • At least one backup must have been performed after remote boot was enabled. • The network must have a DHCP server, or your storage system must be configured to act as a DHCP server as described in "Changing the Network Settings" on page 68. • If you plan to remotely boot your computer from a different computer's backup, you must enter the MAC address of your computer's network interface card (NIC) on the storage system. For more information, see "Configuring Remote Boot" on page 59. • If you want to remotely boot from any backup other than the most recent one, you must select the desired backup on the storage system. For more information, see "Configuring Remote Boot" on page 59. 122 Intel® Entry Storage System SS4000-E User Guide

Recovering a System Disk While Booting Remotely
If your computer meets the prerequisites, you can remotely boot it from a backup on your
storage system and recover your system disk or partition. You can recover only your most
recent backup.
Note:
If you replace the original hard disk, the new disk must be at least as large as the original
disk. You must also connect the new hard disk to the same location as the original one. If
this is not done, there can be a problem after restoration.
In addition, the system to which you are recovering the data must be identical to the
original system. For example, if the original system had a particular type of network
adapter, the system to which you are recovering the data must have the exact same type of
network adapter. Otherwise, the recovered files do not operate properly.
Prerequisites
Before you recover a disk while booting remotely, the following criteria must be met:
The computer you are remotely booting must be in the same subnet as the storage
system.
Remote boot must be enabled for that computer as described in
“Enabling Remote
Boot” on page 111
.
At least one backup must have been performed after remote boot was enabled.
The network must have a DHCP server, or your storage system must be configured to
act as a DHCP server as described in
“Changing the Network Settings” on page 68
.
If you plan to remotely boot your computer from a different computer’s backup, you
must enter the MAC address of your computer’s network interface card (NIC) on the
storage system. For more information, see
“Configuring Remote Boot” on page 59
.
If you want to remotely boot from any backup other than the most recent one, you
must select the desired backup on the storage system. For more information, see
“Configuring Remote Boot” on page 59
.
