7.2 Restoring an I/A 70 Series workstation.

The I/A 70 Backup and Restore CD supports several ways to restore from a malfunctioning system.

Amongst these are: restoring from SCSI tape, removable disks, cloned disk, CD-ROM and from a

network connection. All methods are presented here.

The Backup and Restore CD allows for a Bare metal restore. This implies that you can start your

restore operations without installing an OS or anything else on the stations.

Please note that following applies for all restore options:

• If you are restoring to a replacement of a crashed hard drive, make sure the drive is configured

correct and check the SCSI ID, termination settings, parity etc for SCSI drives and Master/slave

settings for IDE drives.

• No preparations are required prior to the restore process. Partitioning and formatting is done

during the restore.

• If the image was written to CD-RW media, beware of the fact that some older CD-ROM drives

are not able to read CD-RW media. (This also applies to older drives that are officially capable of

this.).
