Selecting a recovery point and initiating a BMR

After the Universal Recovery Console (URC) is accessible on the bare metal restore (BMR) target machine, you must select the recovery point that you want to restore.

Navigate to the Core Console to select which recovery point you want to load, and then designate the recovery console as the destination for the restored data.

NOTE: This step is required to perform BMR on all Windows machines and optional to perform BMR on Linux machines.

This task is part of the process for Using the Universal Recovery Console for a BMR.

If performing a BMR for a Linux machine from the Core Console, then this task is also a step in Performing a bare metal restore for Linux machines . It is part of the process for Launching a bare metal restore for a Linux machine using the command line.

  1. In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, from the list of protected machines (or attached archives, if relevant), click the name of the protected machine you want to restore.
    The Summary page for the selected machine appears.
  2. Click Recovery Points.
  3. Next to the recovery point you want to use for the BMR, click the drop-down menu, and then click Restore.
    The Restore Machine Wizard appears.
  4. Select Recover to any target machine using a Boot CD.
  5. Select I already have a Boot CD running on the target machine.
    The authentication text boxes appear.
  6. Enter the information about the machine you want to restore as described in the following table.
    Table 145: Target machine information
    Text Box Description
    IP Address The IP address of the machine to which you want to restore. This is identical to the IP address displayed in the URC.
    Authentication Key The specific password to connect to the selected server. This is identical to the Authentication Key displayed in the URC.
  7. Click Next.

    If the connection information you entered matches the URC, and if the Core and the target server can identify each other properly on the network, then the volumes for the selected recovery point are loaded, and the Disk Mapping page appears. In this case, your next step is to map volumes.

  8. Proceed to About disk mapping for a bare metal restore to learn about your disk-mapping options.

About disk mapping for a bare metal restore

After you connect to the Universal Recovery Console, you need to map volumes between those listed in the recovery point and the volumes existing on the target hardware.

Rapid Recovery attempts to automatically map volumes. If you accept the default mapping, then the disk on the destination machine is cleaned and re-partitioned and any previously existing data is deleted. The alignment is performed in the order the volumes are listed in the recovery point, and the volumes are allocated to the disks appropriately according to size, and so on. Assuming there is enough space on the target drive, no partitioning is required when using automatic disk alignment. A disk can be used by multiple volumes. If you manually map the drives, note that you cannot use the same disk twice.

For manual mapping, you must have the new machine correctly formatted already before restoring it.

NOTE: When restoring a Linux machine and using manual mapping, additionally, the partitions must be mounted prior to completing the restore.

The destination machine must have a separate partition for each volume in the recovery point, including the system reserved volume. For more information, see Using the Universal Recovery Console for a BMR.

As of Rapid Recovery Core release 6.3, you can use automatic mapping when performing BMR for LVM and software-based RAID volumes on Linux machines without first creating the partitions.

Complete the procedure for one of the following disk-mapping options:

NOTE: ReFS is supported for Rapid Recovery on machines with Windows Server 2012 R2 or later. If protecting machines with the ReFS file system, the version of Windows that hosts the Rapid Recovery Core must be newer than the Windows version on the protected machine.

Caution: Bare metal restore of Storage Spaces disks configuration (a feature of Windows 8.1) is not supported. For details, see the Rapid Recovery 6.3 Installation and Upgrade Guide.

This task is part of the process for Using the Universal Recovery Console for a BMR.

If performing a BMR for a Linux machine from the Core Console, then this task is also a step in Performing a bare metal restore for Linux machines. It is part of the process for Launching a bare metal restore for Linux.

Automatically mapping disks for a BMR

This procedure lets you automatically map disks during a bare metal restore (BMR) using the Restore Machine Wizard.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to automatically select the volumes you want to recover and where to restore them.
  1. On the Disk Mapping page of the Restore Machine Wizard, next to Volume mapping, select Automatic from the drop-down menu.
  2. In the left table, verify that the appropriate volumes are listed and are selected.

    NOTE: Typically for a BMR, you should restore, at minimum, the system reserved volume and the system volume (usually, but not always, the C:\ volume). You must select at least one volume to perform a BMR.

  3. In the right table, select the disk or disks to which you want to map volumes on the target machine.
  4. Click Next.
  5. On the Disk Mapping Preview page, review the mapping of the recovery point volumes and the destination volume for the restore.
  6. To begin the restore, click Finish.

    Caution: If you select Begin Restore, all existing partitions and data on the target drive are permanently removed and replaced with the contents of the selected recovery point, including the operating system and all data.

Manually mapping disks for a BMR

This procedure describes how to designate the drive or volume locations on the BMR target volume when performing BMR from a recovery point.

To manually map disks on Linux BMR target machines, you must first use DiskPart from the Command Line on the BMR target machine to create and format target volumes. For more information, see DiskPart Command-Line Options (Standard 7 SP1) on the Microsoft Developer Network.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to manually select the volumes you want to recover and where to restore them.
  1. On the Disk Mapping page of the Restore Machine Wizard, next to Volume mapping, select Manual from the drop-down menu.

    NOTE: If no volumes exist on the drive of the machine on which you are performing a bare metal restore (BMR), you cannot see this option or manually map volumes.

  2. In the Volume Mapping area, under Source Volume, verify that the source volume is selected, and that the appropriate volumes are listed beneath it and are selected.
  3. For each source volume, from the Destination drop-down menu, select the appropriate destination to restore on the BMR target volume. If you do not want to restore a specific volume, select Do not restore.
  4. When mappings for all listed volumes are selected, then click Next.
  5. In the confirmation dialog box, review the mapping of the source of the recovery point and the destination volume for the restore.
  6. To begin the restore, click Finish.

    Caution: When you proceed with the restore, all existing partitions and data on the target drive is removed permanently, and replaced with the contents of the selected recovery point, including the operating system and all data.
