Active Directory considerations

A Windows BMR recovery of a Domain Controller is non-authoritative by default. If you must perform an authoritative recovery, then you must start into DSRM mode directly from the Windows BMR wizard. The topic Performing post-recovery tasks for Active Directory services, provides more information.

DFSR considerations

DFSR namespaces are junction mount points. The DISASTER _RECOVERY:\ and ALL save sets do not backup DFSR namespaces, even if the DFSR shares reside on a critical volume. To backup DFSR Shares, either use the new save set ALL-DFSR or provide the full DFSR Share path as the save set name. The ALL-DFSR save set applies to all supported platforms. Unlike the ALL save set, which skips the DFSR namespace because it is a junction point, the ALL-DFSR save set backs up every namespace, along with the associated replication folders.

The topic Recovering Windows volume mount points, provides more information about recovering volume mount points.

MSCS considerations

Review these considerations before you perform a Windows BMR recovery on a clustered host.

• Before you start the Windows BMR recovery operation, ensure that you detach the shared disks. After the Windows BMR recovery operation and the restart completes, attach the shared disks before you perform the online recovery.
• After an authoritative restore completes, the recovery operation does not bring the cluster services online on the remote nodes. You must bring the services online manually.
