Chapter 4: Backing Up and Restoring System Software

Required Tools and Materials

To restore your system after a system failure or disk

crash, you will need:

■ TapeWare software with Disaster Recovery.

■ An HP SureStore DAT 24 tape drive or system

compatible tape device.

■ A set of boot Recovery Diskettes created at

system installation or later.

■ A full backup tape created at system installation

or later or very recently.

Disaster Recovery Procedure

If the hard drive becomes corrupted so that the

controller will not boot, you must boot from a set of

boot Recovery Diskettes. Booting from Recovery

Diskettes starts TapeWare’s disaster recovery program.

The disaster recovery process involves using the boot

Recovery Diskettes:

■ to boot the MS Windows 2000 operating system.

■ to start TapeWare’s disaster recovery program.

■ with a full backup tape to restore your system.

Use the boot Recovery Diskettes and a full backup tape

to recover your 3070’s operating system, software

applications, and files.

The boot Recovery Diskettes enable you to boot your

system and run TapeWare’s disaster recovery program,

Recover.exe. This option should be used only as an

emergency measure because it:

■ removes all the files from the hard drive.

■ reformats the hard drive.

■ re-installs MS Windows 2000 and 3070 software

applications.

CAUTION

✸

All files on the drive to be recovered will be

overwritten!
