  3. Restart the computer

To recover a file server if the hard drive fails, or the file server computer needs to be replaced with a new computer

  1. Set up the computer with the operating system software. Be sure to use the same computer name as the failed File Server.

  2. If the File Server had the DLO Maintenance Server installed, then install the DLO Maintenance Server on the computer. Be sure to use the same version of DLO as was installed on the failed File Server.

  3. Restore the DLO file data.
