Hello Sharvari,
Thank you very much for your answer.
That helped stepping through the IDR-installation.
Regarding to your last note, I have few questions and one problem:
"NOTE: you will need one set of media (CD and Diskettes) for each server to be protected"
On page 1028 at the end of the documentation, they wrote, that I'm still able to create the bootable media, when we have problems with the remote servers as long as the media server is available. Following this note, I need the media sets only for the media server as long as the *dr.-file of the remote servers are available on the media server.
Does that mean that I'm able to create - especially - the bootable CDs for remote servers when the remote server's crashed down and the media server is online? What files are necessary for the bootable CD? ASR-files, *.dr-files...?
Question about the bootable CD:
Originally we installed Windows 2003 Server without Service Pack. In the meantime we've installed Service Pack 1 on all of our 2003 Servers. For creating the bootable CD is it necessary to have a Windows CD with integrated Service Pack available or can I still use our originally CD?
What happens in a DR-case, when we only used our originally Windows CD without Service Pack 1 to create the bootable media. Can we still restore our Server in that case or have we to expect problems?
Same question regarding Windows 2000. Windows 2000 CD is with Service Pack 2 now we have Service Pack 4 installed.
Problem with creating and storing *.dr file on IDR-diskette:
We have a problem on one Windows 2000 Server storing the *dr-file on a diskette. The *dr.-file, which was created after the full server backup, is 2.4 MB big and I can't update my IDR-Diskettes because the file's too big.
Our other *dr-files are between only 40 an 600kb big. What's wrong?
How can I make sure, that the *.dr-file doesn't get so huge? Can I recreate the *.dr-file with a new full backup or do I first have to delete the old *.dr-file?
As always any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
