For example, if the original version is Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition with Service Pack 2 at the time of backup, that same version must be installed for disaster recovery. This procedure requires Windows installation media from Microsoft in order to perform re-installation of the operating system.So if System State or Shadow Copy Components backups complete with a Status ONE (1), then it is not reliable for a Disaster Recovery Scenario. The success of a full restore will depend on a "reliable" full system backup.This procedure does NOT utilize NetBackup Bare Metal Restore (BMR) or NetBackup Intelligent Disaster Recovery (IDR) but instead makes use of standard MS-Windows backups of all local drives including Shadow Copy Components.If any of your data is protected by NetBackup agents, refer to the section on restoring the data protected by the agent before beginning disaster recovery.



Use NetBackup to perform a restore for a total and complete recovery of Windows client(s) that include C: (and other system) drive(s), Shadow Copy Component, and/or System_State from a reliable full MS-Windows backup without IDR or BMR in the event of a Disaster.
