Data Recovery Process: What to do first? (continued)

 

Set up an Alternate System

Do not attempt to restore a backup into or onto the original corrupted data set as you may over-write some of the lost data. Furthermore, if for some reason your restore goes awry, you may have created a situation where a potential recovery from the original media may no longer be a viable option.

Consult your company’s systems documentation to configure another computer/server to temporarily replace the problem unit.  Restore whatever backups are available onto this unit and reconfigure it as necessary to begin productive work.  Obviously, the more time that has been spent on the contingency plan before the data loss, the less time it will take now to set up an alternate system.
