Use one of the following methods to create boot media to bring your Windows 2000 server online:
Uses a bootable CD and one machine-specific recovery disk containing configuration information. The CD and the floppy disk let you start any Windows 2000 computer, even one with an unformatted hard drive, and fully restore the system using the backup media.
Note: This is the recommended method.
Uses 3.5-inch floppy disks containing a modified version of the Windows 2000 setup software and configuration information for a specific computer. These disks let you start the Windows 2000 computer (with or without a formatted hard drive) from a bootable disk and fully restore the system using the option's backup media. The Windows 2000 installation media is required during this recovery process. The CA ARCserve Backup CD/DVD is also required during the recovery process.
To protect your CA ARCserve Backup server itself, you must create the boot media before a disaster occurs, or use the alternate location feature. For more information about this feature, see the section Install and Configure the Option in the "Installing the Option" chapter of this guide.
