specify the desired IP address or subnet mask. (If you make a mistake typing either the IP
address or subnet mask, select “Disable” to clear the displayed information.) Then select
“OK” and select “Next”.
If multiple NICs are listed, the recovery CD will use the last operational one (that is, the last
NIC whose Status is Enabled). If you do not want to use the last listed NIC, select that NIC,
select “Config”, and then select “Disable“ to change the Status to Disabled. Repeat this
procedure for each NIC that you do not want to use, then select “Next”.
6. In the Client Name field, enter the full computer name of this computer. This name is always
uppercase characters.
If you don’t remember the full computer name, access the Manager and click “Backups” in
the navigation bar. In the Protected disks list, the Computer Name column lists the
computer name of each computer that has backed up disks to the storage system.
7. If your computer is a member of a Windows domain, enter the domain name in the Domain
Name field. (If your computer is not a member of a Windows domain, leave this field blank.)
Initially, the recovery CD will attempt to connect to the storage system using only the
computer name. If this fails, the domain name will be appended as well. This ensures that
your computer can be properly authenticated.
8. In the Storage System field, enter the name or IP address of the storage system where the
backups reside.
Note: You can use the storage system name only if your computer is in the same
subnet as the storage system or if you manually registered the name with a DNS
server in your network.
9. In the Recovery Password field, enter the recovery CD password that you specified when
you protected the disk or when you last changed the password.
If you don’t remember your password, you can change it using the web interface and enter
the new password here.
10. In the left column, select the backup that corresponds to the disk or partition that you want to
recover.
If you protected only one disk or partition, only one item will appear in this list.
If you protected multiple disks or partitions, you can identify the right item by looking at the
Attr and Size columns. The Attr column displays the attributes of each listed item (D for disk,
P for partition, and S for system disk). For example, if you protected both a system disk and
a data disk, the system disk will be labeled S, and the data disk will be labeled D. If you
protected disks of different sizes, the Size column (which displays the number of
megabytes) can also help you identify the right backup.
11. In the right column, select the date and time of the backup that you want to recover.
Caution: Selecting a backup with a specific date/time stamp is strongly
recommended. In most cases, selecting Latest Backup is the same as selecting
the backup in the list with the most recent date/time stamp. However, if the most
recent backup is marked <Protect>, the Latest Backup will be in an incomplete
state. In that case, be sure to select one of the other listed backup dates rather
than Latest Backup. In addition, if nothing displays in this column besides Latest
Backup, do not recover this disk or partition. In this situation, Latest Backup
represents only the empty storage space allocated for the backup and contains
