Creating a Windows PE-based Boot System

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

•
Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 8 — obtained through download
•
Windows Server 2008 R2 or later
•
“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 or later 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 for Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK). 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"
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.

Creating a rescue device for use with a LiveCD

A LiveCD is an OS that boots from a CD without the necessity of installing to a hard drive. This tool lets you initiate DR without the OS on disk. Plug-in Server supports booting from a LiveCD with VaultOS on a separate device, such as a USB device (Rescue USB) that uses the 3.0 protocol or earlier, or a different CD (Rescue CD).

The following items are required to create a Rescue CD or Rescue USB device:

•
The “drdaemon” and “vaultdr_client.sh” files — obtained through download.
•
A USB port and a USB device with enough space to hold the “drdaemon” and “vaultdr_client.sh” files; 1 MB is sufficient,
— or —
•
A blank CD and a writable CD drive.
 
* 
NOTE: You need two CD drives on the target system to use a Rescue CD with a LiveCD.
1
Download Plug-in Offline Client, VaultOS 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.

For instructions on booting from a LiveCD, see Booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client from a LiveCD.

Adding a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client to the Plug-in Server

Adding a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client to the Plug-in Server

To access a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client machine correctly for backup and restore, add it to the Plug-in Server. After you have added an initial NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client to the NetVault Backup Server, repeat these steps to add additional clients.

5
When the Add Bare Metal Recovery Plug-in Offline Client dialog box is displayed, complete the following fields to add the client:
•
Client Name: The name of the applicable NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. NetVault Backup scans the network, looking for available systems that can be added as NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients, and displays them in the drop-down list.
•
Address(es): A comma-separated list of addresses that can either be IP addresses or resolvable network names, for example, 10.55.55.1, Server_1, 10.55.55.2, that see the machine to add.
•
Port Number: The port used to invoke drdaemon, for example, 15555. The default is 10000.
6
Click Next.
After the client is successfully added to the server, a message is displayed.
7
Repeat these steps as required until all NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients have been added.

Editing an existing NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client

With a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client added to the NetVault Backup Server, the settings made during the original addition process can be edited, if necessary.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Backup Job.
