Making a Recovery Disk

What is the Recovery Disk?

The recovery disk is a DOS bootable diskette containing the files necessary to access tape drives, hard drives, and the

SnapBack Recovery Disk application. This disk allows backup and recovery of your system without requiring the

installation or operation of any operating system or network drivers on the server hardware. If you need to recovery

your complete server, you use this Recovery Disk.

Note: The recovery disk only need be created once. No backup specific information is recorded on the disk. If the

recovery disk is lost or damaged any DOS bootable disk with appropriate ASPI drivers and the SnapBack

executables will work. If a server crash occurs, a Recovery disk and a recent backup tape are all you need to

resurrect the server.
