Disaster recovery of OpenStorage devices

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
The following disaster recovery scenarios are possible for OpenStorage devices:
  • The device fails.
  • The Backup Exec server that uses the device fails.
If the device fails, you should consult the documentation from the device's vendor. If the Backup Exec server fails and you need to reinstall Backup Exec on the Backup Exec server, you must reconfigure the device, and inventory and catalog the media from it after the Backup Exec server is recovered.
