Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Using NMM for post-recovery tasks

If the recovered host has applications that are protected with NMM, all application-recovery operations must be performed by using the NMM client interface. The NMM documentation provides information on the post-recovery operations.

Before reviewing the NMM documentation, review the following information:

  • After the recovery has completed and the system is rebooted, check the host’s disk and volume configuration. All disks and volumes should appear as they did on the original system. However, if disk signatures do not match the original disks, non-critical disks might be offline or unmounted. Use Microsoft Disk Manager to bring online or mount the disks. After the disks are online, a reboot operation should result in disk drive letter reassignments. If these correct drive letter assignments do not occur, manually assign drive letters to non-critical disks as needed. Non-critical volumes that are accessed by mount points might have similar issues.
  • To recover the host, perform additional online recovery of any required user data on non-critical volumes by using the NetWorker User program.
  • If a folder is encrypted in Windows, for example, by selecting Folder Properties > Advanced > Encrypt contents to secure data, it is recovered as encrypted. However, the encryption attribute is not be set on the folder. You can manually reset the encryption attribute after the recovery operation. This task is a Microsoft limitation.
  • Windows BMR supports backup and recovery of files and folders encrypted with Windows Encrypting File System (EFS), and volumes encrypted with BitLocker. After BMR, the EFS or BitLocker services might be running but the EFS encryption attributes on files or folders must be re-enabled and BitLocker volumes must be re-encrypted. For steps to encrypt with EFS and BitLocker, consult Microsoft documentation.
    NOTE:You cannot install the NetWorker software on volumes that are encrypted with Microsoft BitLocker.
