Recommended recovery process

At the K2 Media Server first birthday...

1. Boot from the Recovery CD.
2. Create a set of disk image recovery CDs. These CDs contain the C:, D:, and E: partitions.
3. Create a disk image, writing the disk image to the E: partition. This disk image contains the C: and D: partitions.
4. Copy the disk image from the E: partition to another location, such as a network drive.

At milestones, such as after software upgrades…

1. Boot from the Recovery CD.
2. Create a disk image, writing the disk image to the E: partition. This disk image contains the C: and D: partitions.
3. Copy the disk image from the E: partition to another location, such as a network drive.

If you need to restore the K2 Media Server…

1. Boot from the Recovery CD.
2. If the E: partition is accessible, read the image from the E: partition to restore the C: partition, restore the D: partition, or restore both partitions.
3. If the E: partition is not accessible, do the following:
   1. Read the disk image from your set of CDs and restore all three partitions
   2. Restart into Windows.
   3. Copy your most recent disk image to the E: partition.
   4. Boot from the Recovery CD.
   5. Read the image from the E: partition to restore the C: partition, restore the D: partition, or restore both partitions.
