Hello,
After creating an Intelligent Disaster Recovery ISO image file, if a third party utility is used to burn the image to CD, the image may not be recorded to the CD correctly. VERITAS Software only supports the use of the built-in burning software provided with IDR.
To utilize this functionality, the computer where the ISO image is being created from must have a CD-R/CD-RW installed in the server. The CD-R/CD-RW must also be Stomp Inc's Simple Backup hardware compatibility list.
==========================================
Summary of what needs to be done:
1. Run a full backup of server
2. Create a bootable CD
3. Burn the bootable ISO image to CD
4. Create the IDR diskettes (Required for Windows XP/Windows 2003)
5. Periodically update the IDR diskettes
Required items before proceeding:
1. Available tape for full backup of server
2. Operating System (OS) installation CD/files
3. Product Key from OS installation CD/files
4. Blank CD-R or CD-RW
5. Software to burn the ISO image to CD
6. Floppy diskettes (usually 2 are needed)
You will need the following to recover a computer using IDR
1. The bootable IDR CD that was created for this computer
2. The 2 IDR diskettes created for this computer
3. The tape with the last FULL Backup for this computer
4. Also - any INCREMENTAL or DIFFERENTIAL backup tape(s) for this computer
