Recovering Your Source Directory from a Disk Backup

To recover your source directory on either type of system in the event your DRCT minidisk has been damaged:

  1. End the CA VM:Director server if it is running.
  2. Log on to the CA VM:Director service virtual machine.
  3. Edit the USER DIRECT file and define a new DRCT minidisk for CA VM:Director if necessary. Bring that minidisk online and format it with the CMS DIRECT command.
  4. Link read–only to the minidisk that contains the latest USER DIRECT file.
  5. Run the VMXGNR utility against this USER DIRECT file.
  6. Update the DRCT minidisk with the files on the BKUP minidisk with the COPYFILE command and the REPLACE option. All changes that accumulated between the last time VMXBKP01 was run and the present will be on the BKUP minidisk.
