I am looking for a simple disaster recovery method using CD-ROMs and a
bootable floppy disk.
We have purchased an HP Read/Write CD ROM device that plugs into the
computer via the Parallel port. It comes with software that makes a Windows
Recovery Disk (floppy) then copies all the hard disk files to a set of CDs.
The problem, however, is that to recover from a crash, you need the HP
device plugged back into your parallel port. You can't just boot from the
floppy and load the CDs through the computer's built in CD-ROM drive.
How does the rest of the industrial world do disaster recovery? What type
of hardware / software is out there that runs on generic configurations?
Thank you,
