Windows server 2003 how to carry out automatic system recovery, I believe that many inexperienced people do not know what to do, so this paper summarizes the causes of the problem and solutions, through this article I hope you can solve this problem.

ASR Overview: with automatic system failure recovery (ASR), you can periodically create ASR sets as part of the overall system recovery plan in the event of a system failure. ASR can be used as a last resort for system recovery only if startup options such as "safe mode" and "last correct configuration" are not valid. "for more information about the above and other recovery options, see enable options."

ASR is a recovery option that consists of two parts: ASR backup and ASR restore. You can use the backup feature through the automatic system recovery preparation Wizard in the backup utility. The automatic system recovery preparation Wizard backs up system state data, system services, and all disks related to operating system components. The wizard also creates a floppy disk that contains information about the backup, disk configuration (including basic and dynamic volumes), and how to perform the restore.

When prompted in text mode during startup, you can press F2 to use the restore feature of ASR. ASR reads the disk configuration from the floppy disk and restores at least all disk signatures, volumes, and partitions on the disk used to start the computer. (ASR will try to restore all disk configurations, but in some cases, it is not possible for ASR to restore all disk configurations. After that, ASR installs the basic components of Windows and automatically starts the restore using the ASR backup set created by the automatic system recovery preparation Wizard.

Be careful

ASR does not include data files. Back up the data files individually on a regular basis and restore them after the system is working properly.

You can also create ASR floppy disks and ASR sets using all Information on this computer in the wizard.

ASR only supports 2.1 GB for volumes in FAT16 format. ASR does not support 4 GB FAT16 partitions with a cluster size of 64K. If your system contains partitions in 4-GB FAT16 format, convert it from FAT16 to NTFS before using ASR.

Run ntbackup in win2003, and then click the automated system recovery wizard option to launch the ASR system automatic recovery wizard. ASR restores all roles of windows2003, including active Directory information, a bit like ghost, but not exactly the same, and system recovery does not restore page files.

ASR recovery requires a floppy disk to record ASR boot information, which must be a 3.5inch floppy disk.

ASR backup files cannot be placed in the partition (volume) where the operating system is installed

During an ASR restore, the partition table of the disk on which the system resides is first deleted and later restored.

Next, the partition (volume) on which the system resides is formatted.

After windows is easily installed, the ASR wizard will attempt to restore the partition (volume) on disk. If there are non-simple volumes on the disk where the system is located, such as spanned volumes, striped volumes, and so on, these volumes will be formatted. Because the reconstruction of these volumes needs to be formatted.

Partitions and volumes on other disks are not affected.

Next, the ASR wizard will specify the recovery file path on a 32-bit system, where you can access external storage, but not drives that windows does not recognize. Restart after the system is restored, and the system will be the same as when it was backed up.

When using ASR, the computer configuration is best the same as when backing up. The disk to be restored must be no less than the disk capacity at the time of backup.

After reading the above, have you mastered the method of automatic system recovery in windows server 2003? If you want to learn more skills or want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel, thank you for reading!
