About Veritas Recovery Disk

Veritas Recovery Disk lets you start a computer that can no longer run the Linux operating system. You must create the Veritas Recovery Disk using the createSRD utility after installing Veritas System Recovery Linux Edition. createSRD builds a recovery environment based on the rescue environment of your Linux distribution. In the recovery environment, you can access the recovery features of Veritas System Recovery Linux Edition.

The createSRD utility creates an ISO file which you can burn to a CD or DVD to create a Veritas Recovery Disk. The createSRD utility does not include any CD or DVD burning functionality.
