7 . If your computer is a member of a Windows domain , enter the domain name in
the Domain Name field. (If your computer is no t a member of a Windows
domain,
leave this field blank.)
Initially , the recovery CD will attempt to connect to the storage system using only
the
computer name. If this fails, t he domain name will be appended as well. This
ensures
that your computer can be properly authentica t ed.
8 . In the Storage System field, enter t he name or I P address of the storage
system
where the backups reside.
Note: You can use t he storage system name only if your computer is in
the same subnet as the storage system or if you manually registered the name
with a DNS server in your network.
9 . In the Recovery Password field, enter the recovery password that you
specified when you protected the disk or when you last changed the password,
and
then select Next .
If you don’t remember your password, you can change it on the storage system
(as
described in “Changing the recovery password”) and enter the new password
here.
10 . I n the le ft column, select the disk or partition that you want to recover .
If you protected only one disk or partition, only one it em displays in this li st.
If you protected multiple disks or partitions, you can identify the righ t item by
looking
at t he Attr , Disk ID , and Size(M) columns. The Attr column displays the
attributes
of each listed item ( D for disk, P for partition, and S for system disk).
For example , if you pro t ected both a system partition and a da t a partition, the
system partition will be labeled PS , and the data partition will be labeled simply
P . If you protected disks of dif f eren t sizes, the Size(M) column (which displays
the number of megabytes) can also help you identify the right item. You can also
compare
t he disk ID with the listed backup disk IDs in the Manager (as
described in “Managing backups”).
If you protected the same disk more t han once (for example, if you removed
pro
t ection and then protected the disk again without re-using the existing
backup), the attributes and size of each backup of that disk will be the same. To
determine
which item to select, select each one individually and look at the
times and dates in the righ t column . This can help you identify which image is
the most recent.
