If I have two sites, Site1 and Site2, and NW Server is in Site1 -
A) what happens to clients if the NW Server is off-line?
The clients can't be backed up to the NetWorker server if its offline.
B) Will they still be able to backup?
No, of course not.
C) Can A storage node server still recover files to the clients?
Not until the NSR server its connected to is brought back online. A
storage node is no better than a paper weight without a NSR server to
control it.
D) Can I take the licenses and rebuild another NW Server and If I
keep the same name, will I have to re-establish connections with all
the clients???
You would need to recover your media database (and probably client
file index data) onto the storage node. Your storage node would need
enough disk space mounted locally to house the metadata that the NSR
server houses, or at least enough for the media database.
You should definitely read the NetWorker disaster recovery guide which
is available on the CD kit and also downloadable via http://powernet.emc.com
