I have been running SSR 2013 for a while now on a WS2012E server. Data is being stored on a NAS device connected to the network. I created a custom restore boot on a USB device and tested it works. My question pertains to a "what if" the server goes down for any reason and can I read the backup data from another computer running windows "x", using the recovery disk, not the custom SSR mentioned? Can I restore important data to a specified client PC until the server was repaired/fixed/whatever? If the server is down, I want to be able to restore some data to a temporary machine, most likely a windows desktop OS, until the server is going.
Can I do this? Is there a document that explains how? What criteria needs to be met to allow this for a temporary situation?
Thanks.
