Using Plug-in Offline Client to recover data to a standby NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client

Using Plug-in Offline Client to recover data to a standby NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client

If a hardware failure occurs in a specific client machine, you can restore a previous NetVault Bare Metal Recovery backup to a different, preconfigured NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, or “standby.” To accomplish this restore, use the information provided in the following topics.

Before performing the recovery procedure, consider the following important points:

With this process, the new target machine must have a similar hardware configuration to that of the originally backed-up machine, regarding the NIC and SCSI cards used. If the hardware in use differs too much from the original, driver software conflicts may occur, resulting in a failed restore.
Values entered in the Restore Name field are case-sensitive. Ensure that the exact NetVault name of the machine to be relocated to is entered in this field; otherwise, the restore fails.
Relocations of this type must be restored to the same partition they were backed up from. For example, if a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery backup was taken of a system’s “C:\” partition on a Windows-based system, the restore must be performed to the relocation target’s “C:\” partition as well. You cannot restore to a different partition.
If you are restoring a 64-bit Linux Client that uses the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) with Plug-in Offline Client for Linux, add the applicable entry in the UEFI/EFI boot manager the first time that you boot the standby client after the restore. To do so, during the boot routine, press Esc, select Boot Maintenance Manager > Configure boot options > Add boot, add HD(1, GPT, <partitionGUID>, <partitionOffset>,<partitionSize>)/EFI/<LinuxDistribution>/grub(64).efi, and commit the changes.

To recover to a standby NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, perform the following steps.

2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug-in Server from the Plugin Type list.
5
Click Next.
6
On the Create Selection Set page, select and open the disk to be relocated.
7
Click a disk item, and select Rename from the context menu.
8
In the Rename/Relocate dialog box, enter the Disk Number of the disk to be restored, and click Ok.
9
Repeat Step 7 and Step 8 for each disk you want to relocate.
10
On the Create Selection Set page, click , and ensure that Physical Machine is the selected Restore Type.
11
In the Restore Name box, enter the name of the preconfigured NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client that is to serve as the standby machine.

Using NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Plug-in Live Client

Plug-in Live Client overview

Plug-in Live Client overview

This topic describes how to install, configure, and use Plug-in Live Client for backing up and restoring data.

Plug-in Live Client, referred to as the Plug-in Live Client, is a DR solution that lets you back up and restore a hard disk on a target client, including the OS, applications, system settings, partition information, and data.

Backup: Backup lets you target a Windows-based system, and perform a full and complete backup of its contents while the system remains online and available to users.
Recovery: Recovery requires that you use the included Plug-in Offline Client boot utility to take the protected Windows-based system offline, which allows for complete access to its hard disk for restore operations.

In addition, the Plug-in Live Client also provides the following features:

VSS-based snapshots (Windows): For VSS-enabled applications such as SQL Server, Exchange, and SharePoint, the software uses VSS to quiesce these applications before taking the snapshot. Using VSS to quiesce the applications reduces the amount of application crash recovery that must be performed after recovery of the image file. This method is supported on Windows Server 2012 and later.
Eliminate backup ‘whitespace’: This feature lets you back up only the used blocks on the partition. For example, if a machine has a “C:” drive of size 10 GB and only 6 GB is used, the plug-in only backs up 6 GB, the used space. This feature saves a considerable amount of time and space.
Restore as VMDK Image: This feature restores the backup of a physical machine to a VMDK Image that can be used to create a VM.
IMPORTANT: This plug-in works with the Plug-in Server. Before backing up with the Plug-in Live Client, install the Plug-in Server and verify connectivity between target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients and the NetVault Server where Plug-in Server is installed. In addition, the Plug-in Server is required to perform all restores of Plug-in Live Client backups.
