Legato ERD Disk Creation

[mbitto]

Is there an easy way to create Windows NT 4.0  Server ERD disks from Legato? We are at Legato version 5.2.1.  Any assistance would be very greatly appreciated.

You are at a pretty old release. I believe NetWorker is now at 5.5.1 (Shipping).<br><br>Anyways, with version 5.5.x there is an option (from the winworkr.exe) for Registry and Repairdsk. If you select both thoses options, as well as the system partition, you can then do a sucessful disaster recovery.<br><br>Hope this helps,<br><br>Helios316

Thank you for the response.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are currently at 5.5.1, my mistake.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I restore the files necessary to create the ERD disk, do I need to make the floppy disk bootable prior to restoring the registry / repairdisk / system partition ?&nbsp;&nbsp;

You would need to format a floppy disk (FAT) and then make it bootable, prior to restoring your ERD information from tape.<br><br>Although, I am not sure if the files are automatically overwritten, or copied with a .R extension.<br><br>Even if they are, all you need to do is delete the pre restore versions, and rename the .R versions (if neccessary)<br><br>My $0.02<br><br>Helios3

Hi,<br><br>I've run into some issues with at least 1 file being to big to fit on a floppy.. What I would do...&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Restore the repair disk data to a seperate directory on the hard drive and copy all necessary items to the formated floppy..&nbsp;&nbsp;Repair disks are not bootable, so you would have to select the repair option from NT's install and go from there.<br><br>My experiences anyway..&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope it helps...
