Creating a Plug-in Offline Client Boot Systemfor use with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The initial backup requirement with the Plug-in Server, and all restore operations, require the use of the Plug-in Offline Client Boot System to boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. This minimal OS loads to a target machine’s memory, rather than to its hard drive. This process leaves the hard drives inactive (offline) and in a suitable state for backup or restore.

The Plug-in Offline Client is created on a writable CD. The Plug-in Server lets you create a bootable CD that can be used to prepare a client machine for the restore process.

Creating a Linux®-based Boot System for use with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The following items are required for this procedure:

•
VaultOS ISO image — obtained through download
•
A writable DVD and CD drive
•
A blank DVD and CD
•
DVD- and CD-generation software
* 
NOTE: Quest recommends that you shut down all applications running on this machine before starting this procedure
1
Download the Plug-in Offline Client from the Quest website.
2
Note the name and location of this file, for example, “\home\vaultos_x86_vxxx.zip,” where xxx represents the software version number.
3
Insert a blank CD in the writable drive.
4
Create a CD with the CD-generation software using the “vaultos_x86_vxxx.iso” file.
For details on this procedure, see the relevant documentation for the CD-generation software in use.

Creating a Windows® PE-based Boot System for use with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

You can complete this process on any Windows system for which the following requirements are met:

•
Windows ADK for Windows 8 — obtained through download
•
Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, or Windows 8 system
•
“NetVault Bare Metal Recovery ISO Builder for Plug-in Offline Client for Windows” file — on the Quest NetVault Backup Installation CD or downloaded from the Quest website
•
A writable DVD and CD drive
•
A blank DVD and CD
•
DVD- and CD-generation software
* 
NOTE: Quest recommends that you shut down all applications running on this machine before starting this procedure
1
Download the Windows ADK for Windows 8 from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
2
Install the Windows ADK on a Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, or Windows 8 system.
You can use the default directory, C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0, or a different directory of your choosing.
* 
IMPORTANT: Installation of Windows ADK also installs Microsoft® .NET Framework if it is not already installed. After .NET Framework is installed, the system is automatically restarted.
3
Extract the “NetVault Bare Metal Recovery ISO Builder for Plug-in Offline Client for Windows” file to the Windows ADK machine.
This step creates two files, “nvbmrisocreate.exe” and “nvbmriso.pkg.”
4
Verify that the path to where you intend to create the ISO image exists.
If the directory does not exist when you run the next step, the ISO image is not created.
5
To create the Windows PE ISO image, navigate to the directory that contains the extracted “nvbmrisocreate.exe” file, type the following at the command prompt, and press Enter:
The following list describes what you can specify for each option:
•
/TYPE: If you are working with an earlier version of the Plug-in Offline Client, enter WAIK. If you are using version 6.1 or later, you can enter ADK.
•
/PKG: Enter the full path and filename for the Plug-in Offline Client .pkg file that you downloaded separately.
•
/DIR: Enter the full path to the location of the Windows AIK or ADK directory.
•
/OUT: Enter the path where the bootable ISO image should be created.
•
/ADDDRV: Enter the full path where the downloaded device drivers are stored.
•
/BIT:32: If you must create a backward-compatible version of VaultOS for use with a 32-bit version of Windows PE, enter this option.
Example:
nvbmrisocreate /TYPE:ADK
/PKG:"<pathToFile>\nvbmriso.pkg"
/DIR:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0"
/OUT:"C:\temp\bmr.iso"
/ADDDRV:"C:\Program Files\Down Load Drivers\"
6
Insert a blank CD in the writable drive.
7
Create a CD with CD-generation software using the “bmr.iso” file generated in Step 5.
