Booting from the Recovery DVD
You can restore Nearchive to the shipping configuration by using recovery DVDs.

Contact your Avid representative if you need to obtain the Recovery DVDs.
You receive three options when using the Nearchive recovery DVD.
• Option 1: Recover only the C: partition
• Option 2: Recover both the C: and D: partition
• Option 3: Exit from the procedure
Avid recommends option 2. It is important to back up all needed data from partition C:,
partition D:, and your database prior to using the recovery DVD. For information on
performing a database backup, see the Avid Nearchive Administrator’s and User’s Guide.
Once you use the Recovery DVD, the system is restored to its shipping configuration,
therefore, you must use your last backup to restore the database, after you have finished with
the Recovery procedure.
To boot from the Recovery DVD:
1. Insert the Avid Nearchive Recovery DVD into the DVD drive.
2. When the Nearchive Recovery Setup options dialog box opens, select option 2 and press
Enter.
3. Press any key to continue.
4. Type Y to perform the Nearchive recovery.
5. Type Y again.
The ghost imaging process begins.
6. (Base Server only) When prompted, remove the CD, insert Disk 2, and press Enter.
7. After the copying process is complete, remove the CD from the CD drive and restart the
system.
8. Perform the procedure for setting up the Nearchive Base Server as described in “Setting
Up the Nearchive Base Server” on page 37.
