Create a snapshot on the recovery server that contains a copy of each volume to be restored. The snapshot provides the data to be copied to the replacement volumes. Select a time for the snapshot that is before the time that the disk failed. To determine the time at which the disk failed, you need to inspect the system logs.

To create the snapshot, enter one of the following commands on the recovery server:

scrt_ra –C <Context ID> –D <time>

or

scrt_ra –C <Context ID> –t <LFCID>

The allowable formats for times entered with the –D option are specified in the file identified by the DATEMSK environment variable.
