Question: When I created the recovery disk from my client he was using Dialup network to connect to his ISP. But I want to test at my site to make sure the recovery is working. How do I test it from my LAN?

You can override the default paramters in a recovery using a file called OverrideDR.ini. I've included all of the options from which you can create a file.

Place OverrideDR.ini into the Client Folder and then invoke Disaster Recovery as usual, a message will be presented asking if you wish to USE the override file.

Here's the basic file layout, cut and paste the contents between the ==== lines as "OverrideDR.INI"

========================================
;"OverrideDR.ini" Use T/F for True/False
; ConnectMethod, Use 0-Direct, 1-ISP, 2-LAN
[Override]
ConnectMethod=0
ServerURL=
ServerPort=
DUNUser=
DUNpw=
DUNDomain=
UsePrefix=
Prefix=
UseAreaCode=
AreaCode=
ServerDialUp1=
EntryName=
ClientDBPath=
DUNIPAddr=
ISPPhoneBook=
ISPEntry=

FireWallType=

========================================


OPTIONS EXPLAINED BELOW, Options are ignored if blank.

[Override] - IS THE SECTION OF THE FILE
ConnectMethod=  ( 0 = DIRECT, 1= ISP, 2 = LAN)
ServerURL=         (Enter an override server url)
ServerPort=         (enter an override server port)
DUNUser=           (Direct: Dialup Networking User)
DUNpw=              (Direct: Dialup Networking Password)
DUNDomain=       (Direct: Dialup networking domain, if necessary)
UsePrefix=           T or F
Prefix=                Dialing Prefix if any
UseAreaCode=     T or F
AreaCode=          Area Code if any
ServerDialUp1=    Dialup Number if any
EntryName=        DUN Entry name (Default is "RBackup")
ClientDBPath=     Use if client exists in other than normal default C:\Program
FIles\Remote Backup

DUNIPAddr=         The IP Address used within a DIRECT connection
ISPPhoneBook=    PBK File location (NT,2k and XP Only)
ISPEntry=            The local computer name of ISP for ISP Method
FireWallType=       Override firewall info
FireWallHost=
FirewallLogin=
FirewallPassword=
FirewallPort=
OverrideSet=         Uses the extension to identify other than that last catalog file on
the server. For example, if the most recent backup's extension was 01E, but for some
reasoin you wanted to go back, you could specify the earlier extension here.

Disaster Recovery by default recovers the most recent catalog file on the server which will include all backups up to present.
