Post-recovery considerations
The system’s configuration information will be recovered when the system state data has been restored. However, depending on the setup, you may need to perform the following in order to complete the disaster recovery operation.
|
•
|
If required, re-configure the network with the new IP address. On the Administrator Interface go to Settings > Clients, Networking, and Notifications > Networks > Ethernet (eth0). Enter the new IP address and gateway as required. Select Confirm. |
|
•
|
If required, change the hostname via the Administrator Interface. |
|
•
|
Make sure replication is turned off if changing the hostname. |
|
•
|
Reconfigure the system for synchronization via the Administrator Interface. |
|
•
|
Because synchronization is disabled during the restore process, ensure that the system is set to replicate. On the Administrator Interface go to Replication > Replication Attributes > Connection Options and Process Control > Resume Replication. |
|
•
|
If Microsoft Exchange CEP backups have been restored, change the login information for the workspace. Modifications to the workspace can be performed via the Exchange Web Admin application. |
|
•
|
Change owner and group of Exchange workspace on Samba share to nobody. Use the following command for this: |
chown -R <owner>:<group><workspace_path>
Also change the permissions to 777.
|
•
|
If bonding was in use it will need to be reconfigured after the restore process is completed because it does NOT get restored. |

|
Once the system has been restored, individual clients can be restored using the Administrator Interface. See the next section for details on restoring individual clients. |
