from the specified filenum<br />

Use the following procedure to restore your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> using a level 0<br />

backup. The restore process allows you to restore your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to your<br />

last level 0 backup without reconfiguring your system.<br />

Caution: When you perform this procedure, all existing data will be overwritten by<br />

your last level 0 backup. Any files or directories added since the level 0 backup will<br />

be lost.<br />

1 Attach a keyboard and monitor directly to your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> and reboot.<br />

If your system has multiple keyboard/monitor connection ports, you must<br />

attach the keyboard and monitor into the same keyboard/monitor connection<br />

port pair (that is, attach both items either to the front connection ports<br />

or the back connection ports).<br />

2 Enter the following command on your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

shutdown -h now<br />

3 Once the system is halted, insert the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> product CD-ROM, and<br />

then power <strong>of</strong>f the system.<br />

4 Power up the system.<br />

5 Press Enter when the Installation Wizard appears.<br />

Tip: See Appendix B <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> Startup <strong>Guide</strong> for additional details<br />

on the Installation Wizard.<br />

6 In the Installation Type window, use the down-arrow to move to the Restore<br />

Full System Backup option, and then press the space bar to select it.<br />

7 Tab to Continue and then press Enter.<br />

The Restore Full System Backup command will prompt you to insert a<br />

backup DAT; this is the DAT that you created when you did the level 0<br />

backup.
