Bootable Disk Method Guidelines (Windows 2000)

To recover from a disaster using the bootable disk method, you need the following items:

• The set of disaster recovery boot disks you created using the instructions in the section Bootable Disk Method.
• A Microsoft Windows 2000 CD that matches the version used to create the boot disks.
• A backup device connected to the server (can be a remote CA ARCserve Backup server) with backup media containing the data you want to restore. The media must contain at least one full backup session.

Important! During the disaster recovery process, the option partitions your hard disk into the original configuration. You can only use this set of bootable disks to perform a disaster recovery on this computer.
