Prepare and execute EADR – Cell Server on Windows 2012 R2 and Data Protector 9.06
In the past I often informed about the free EADR feature in Data Protector to recover clients and cell server. The last time I wrote an article in 2014 including two small scripts to get things prepared and automated – see https://www.data-protector.org/wordpress/2014/04/eadr-cell-server-dp-8-1x-windows-2012-r2/. However, the batch files got broken due to changes for omniiso and so it was time to fix this problem, providing new batches and delivering a complete picture of disaster recovery for Data Protector Cell Manager. Get inspired for your choice of disaster recovery; the new batches can be found at the end of this article. All content applies to Cell manager running on Windows with current Data Protector version 9.06 Preparation: Plan the required steps Consider which Media Agents and devices to be used in case you need to execute EADR Select the desired DR method Document the media where IDB (backup Cell Manager) was written to.
