DISASTER RECOVERY


  1. Automated System Recovery (ASR) allows rapid recovery of all system state and hardware configuration details from the ASR floppy and the server system file backup. An NTBackup of data files can then be easily restored within the recovered configuration. Recovered files carry their original data, settings, and permissions. A new ASR floppy should be made after major hardware changes.

  2. Shadow Copies may be used to view, copy, or restore point-in-time copies of files stored in the shadow copy. Shadow copies contain only the changes since the last copy. Using shadow copies also allows backup operations to include files that are currently open .

  3. Setting up Shadow Copies of Shared Folders requires identification of the volume hosting the target files, the location of the volume on the drive, how much space will be allocated for the shadow copy files, and the frequency of shadow copy creation.

  4. Windows Server 2003 includes the Shadow Copies of Shared Folders functionality. Earlier versions of the operating system require a downloadable client to take advantage of this capability.

  5. Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP include the Device Manager Driver Rollback option to return a system to the previous version of a non-printer device driver.

  6. Windows 2000 and later operating systems carry the capability to schedule regular NTBackup perations. Backup and Restore can be conducted only on the local system.

  7. Windows Server 2003 backups of the system state include the Registry, Active Directory, boot operating system files, COM+ class registration database, and the SYSVOL to capture GPOs and scripts.

  8. A default restoration is a nonauthoritative restore, so it's considered to be old data that will then be updated by newer changes to the directory during replication from other servers. The ntdsutil utility is used for an authoritative restore.

  9. Advanced restoration options include restoring security on NTFS volumes , restoring junction points, and preserving existing junction points.
