If you do not, or cannot, use a device such as a USB device, 3.0 protocol or earlier, to load a driver after Windows PE has started, use the following process to add the driver to the Plug-in Offline Client image and then re-create the Plug-in Offline Client image with the added driver. To complete this process, you must have Windows ADK for Windows 8 installed, the applicable “*.inf” file, a program capable of extracting an ISO image, and a method for repackaging the ISO as a bootable image or bootable CD. The following steps are based on Windows 7; these steps might differ depending on your environment.
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 2012 R2 or later system. |
3 |
Extract the “NetVault Bare Metal Recovery ISO Builder for Plug-in Offline Client for Windows” file to the Windows ADK machine. |
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: |
• |
/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. |

If you are booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client from a LiveCD, perform the following procedure. If you are booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client from a standard VaultOS CD, proceed to Booting the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the Windows PE-based Plug-in Offline Client.
The following items are required for this procedure:
IMPORTANT: When using Windows PE-based VaultOS with NetVault SmartDisk, the Connect ports for devices option in NetVault uses twice as many ports as there are partitions. For example, if you are restoring to a disk that contains seven partitions, the device connection uses 14 ports. |
To boot the client, perform the following steps.
3 |
If the LiveCD automatically mounted the USB/CD drive, use the “mount -l” command to find the path where the device is mounted. |
a |
To find the USB devices on the system, use the “ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/usb*” command. |
5 |
To start drdaemon, run the “vaultdr_client.sh” command. |
6 |
If you configured NetVault Bare Metal Recovery to use a port other than the default “10000,” exit the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Daemon dialog box, and enter the new port number manually. |
a |
NOTE: If you want to restart NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Daemon from the command prompt without changing the port number, type drdaemon and press Enter. |
The Plug-in Server lets you back up full systems. In addition, the plug-in provides detailed backup capabilities that let you select individual disk partitions for backup. This plug-in includes the following items:
• |
From the NetVault Selections page, you can select the following Plug-in Server items for backup:
• |
Disk Partitions: All (or individual) partitions can be selected for backup. |
• |
Mounted Volumes (Linux and UNIX): All of which are backed up as individual partitions. |
NOTE: The Master Boot Record (MBR) and the Partition Table items are backed up automatically when a partition (all or individual) is backed up using the Plug-in Server. Therefore, these items are not available to select for a backup. |
