<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to regular backups your disaster recover plans
need to include having the disks/files necessary to actually do the install.
Doing an upgrade during install is always an option so if you stick those
install ISOs somewhere safe you won't have to download multiple gigabyte files
from <a href="http://cisco.com" target="_blank">cisco.com</a> while your server is down.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Note: Downloading the ISO
from TAC sucks. You have to download two files, and combine them.
Then burn it to a DVD. Unfortantuley, the DVD burn didn't take, so
we ended up using FTP anyways. If I was to try it again, i'd burn the DVD
at a slower speed (like 2X or 4X)</p>

Might be worth a call to TAC, they might have a way to fix this... or<br>
just tell you bad news, but either way, they should be able to get you<br>
a bootable os disc with the same version of your pub if you don't have<br>
one.</p>
