(create it if you have not created it already).

4. In the

Results Area

, click

Backup Object Summary

.

5. Select the client for which you would like to store its DR image file

onto the Cell Manager and click

Properties

.

6. Click the

WinFS Options

and check the

Copy full DR image to

disk

check box.

If the disaster recovery image is saved to the Cell Manager during
backup, it is stored into

\Config\dr\p1s

(Windows Cell Manager) or into

/etc/opt/omni/dr/p1s

(UNIX Cell

Manager) with the name

.img

. This is useful if you are

going to prepare a disaster recovery CD ISO image on the Cell Manager,
because it is much faster to obtain DR image from disk than from the
backup medium.

TIP

If you do not have enough free disk space in the destination directory,
you can create a link to another volume on UNIX or create a mount point
on Windows.

Phase 1 Startup
File (P1S)

In addition to the DR image file, a Phase 1 Startup file (P1S) is created
during full backup. It is saved on backup medium and on the Cell
Manager into

\Config\dr\p1s

directory

(Windows Cell Manager) or into

/etc/opt/omni/dr/p1s

directory

(UNIX Cell Manager) with the filename equal to the hostname (for
example,

computer.company.com

). It is a Unicode UTF-8 encoded file

that contains information on how to format and partition all disks
installed in the system, whereas the updated SRD file contains only
system information and data about backup objects and corresponding
media.

After a disaster occurs, you can use the EADR Wizard to merge DR
image, SRD and P1S files with disaster recovery installation into a
disaster recovery CD ISO image, which can be burned on a CD using
any CD burning tool. This disaster recovery CD can then be used to
perform automated disaster recovery. Note that disaster recovery CD
has to be prepared in advance for the Cell Manager. Additional steps are
required if you are preparing disaster recovery CD of a Microsoft Cluster
node. See “Restoring the Microsoft Cluster Server Specifics” on page 490.
