Performing disaster recovery on a RaQ XTR with

Veritas NetBackup

Preparing for disaster recovery

Prepare your RaQ XTR for disaster recovery by performing the following steps:

1. Perform an OS restore to wipe the hard disk drive and return the RaQ XTR

to a factory-fresh state.

2. Conﬁgure the RaQ XTR through the Setup Wizard and return it to the

network. The RaQ XTR must be able to communicate with the backup

server.

3. If possible, conﬁgure the RaQ XTR to use a network time protocol (NTP)

server to set the clock on the server.

On the Server Desktop, select Control Panel > Time to conﬁgure the time

settings or to specify an NTP server.

4. Select Backup and Restore > Veritas NetBackup and conﬁgure the Veritas

NetBackup client on the RaQ XTR.

• Enable Client—Click the check box to enable the Veritas NetBackup

backup client.

• Master Veritas Server—Enter the fully qualified domain name of

Veritas NetBackup master backup server. The Veritas master backup

server must have a valid host name.

• Extra Veritas Servers—Enter the fully qualified domain names of any

extra Veritas NetBackup backup servers. All Veritas servers must have

valid host names.

5. Click Save.

6. Select Backup and Restore > Control. The “Backup System Control” table

appears.

• Lock the UI by clicking the check box Locked (check mark).

• Turn on the services by enabling the check box Active (check mark).

7. Click Save Changes.

Important: Veritas NetBackup uses inetd to connect to the client.

If you turn services off, your restore will not start.
