Plug-in Live Client environment overview for Windows

The processes required to set up and use the Plug-in Live Client must be followed in a specific order. The following list offers a rough outline of how to establish a Plug-in Live Client environment.

•
Required components: Verify that you have the Plug-in Server, Plug-in Live Client, and Plug-in Offline Client.
•
Configure the Plug-in Server.
•
Install the Plug-in Server on the NetVault Backup Server.
•
Create a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System, for example, to a writable CD.
•
Add the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients to the Plug-in Server on the NetVault Backup Server.
•
Verify access to the Plug-in Server: Verify that all target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients are accessible to the Plug-in Server. Failure to do so may result in an inability to perform a restore.
•
Boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client system with Plug-in Offline Client.
•
From the NetVault Backup Server, access the Plug-in Server to ensure that the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client is accessible to the Plug-in Server.
•
Configure the Plug-in Live Client for Windows.
•
Add client machines to be backed up by the Plug-in Live Client to the NetVault Backup Server; that is, by using the Manage Clients page in the NetVault Backup WebUI.
•
Install the Plug-in Live Client on any NetVault Backup Heterogeneous Client machine requiring active DR backups, for example, the clients added in Step ▪, but not the NetVault Backup Server itself.
•
Perform online backups with the Plug-in Live Client: From the NetVault Backup Server, perform online backups as required, of each NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client using the Plug-in Live Client, for example, OS, applications, system settings.
•
Recovery: Perform an offline restore to the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.
•
Boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client system with Plug-in Offline Client.
•
From the NetVault Backup Server, administer restores to the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client by selecting data included in the Plug-in Live Client backups.

Creating a Plug-in Offline Client Boot System
for 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.
