Veritas™ System Recovery 22 Readme

Last Published:
Product(s): System Recovery (22.0)
Platform: Windows

LightsOut Restore

  • When LightsOut Restore is set up, it installs the Veritas Recovery Environment directly to the file system on the system partition (you cannot change this location), and places a Veritas Recovery Environment boot option within the Windows boot menu.

  • LightsOut Restore does not work on BitLocked drives. Therefore, if you BitLock your system drive, you cannot recover the drive using LightsOut Restore.

  • If you cannot boot your computer using LightsOut Restore, it could be because your operating system resides on a drive that is formatted to FAT32.

    To resolve this issue, reset %TEMP% to point to a secondary drive that is formatted to NTFS. Then re-create a custom Veritas System Recovery Disk.
