If you used Simplified Disaster Recovery's Create Simplified Disaster Recovery Disk Wizard to prepare disaster recovery media for the shared disks, you must use a manual process to recover Backup Exec on a shared disk.
To use a manual process to recover Backup Exec on a shared disk
  1. Replace the shared disk if necessary, and add that disk to the cluster as a disk resource.
  2. Reinstall the cluster-aware version of Backup Exec on the cluster using the same information used in the original installation.
  3. Use Backup Exec to restore any data from the catalogs.
See Methods for restoring data in Backup Exec.
