Recovery is easy.
Restore the Access database on one of the servers.
On that server create a file DSN (ODBC Administrator) using the Access
driver).
Run dsmaint config on that server to point the .dsn file (default
username=citrix, default password=citrix).
Then run dsmaint failover <Access ServerName> to point all other servers to
the server hosting the Access datastore.

Subject: [THIN] PS4 Recovery
What is the simplest yet safe way to backup Citrix PS4 servers? I am running
a small PS4 farm using the Access datastore. I am using a ghost image to
deploy new servers on identical hardware (the ghost image is of a server who
is not the datastore).
Would it be possible to recovery from any farm failure using a combination
of the ghost image and the nightly datastore backup? I've moved the access
datastore between servers before but what if the datastore was down. I'd
ghost a new server and would I be able to take the nightly backup of the
access datastore and place it on the server and make it a the datastore?
Once the new datastore was online then I'd just point the still running
servers at the new datastore?
How is everyone else handling this? I would appreciate any advice on this. I
had been taking a full backup of the datastore server nightly but I really
don't have the tape space for this.
