Recovery Process

Jobs Used

Cluster disk data loss, corruption or failure

Restore volumes on the cluster disk. If the cluster disk failed or was corrupted, clean partition and volume formatting from the disk before restoring the data. See Recover volumes in a Windows cluster.

On the virtual server for each cluster role (e.g., file server or SQL Server role), an Image or local system job that backs up cluster disks for the role.

See Job C in Add backup jobs for a Windows cluster.

Cluster quorum corruption, checkpoint loss, failure or rollback required

Create a new quorum disk. See Recover the quorum disk in a Windows cluster.

On the virtual server for the cluster core, an Image or local system job that backs up the quorum disk.

See Job A in Add backup jobs for a Windows cluster.

Cluster node corruption or failure

Recover the cluster node using the System Restore application. See Recover a node in a Windows cluster.

On the cluster node, a Bare Metal Restore (BMR) backup job created using the Image Plug-in or Windows Agent.

See Job B in Add backup jobs for a Windows cluster.

Complete cluster failure

Recover all components of the cluster. See Recover an entire Windows cluster.

Jobs B, A and C in Add backup jobs for a Windows cluster.

In addition, for a SQL Server cluster, a SQL Server Plug-in job is required for point-in-time database recovery. The job is created on the virtual server for the SQL Server role. See Job D in Add backup jobs for a Windows cluster.
