CAUTION: Even if there is no difference between the system devices in a backup and a restore, the order of the disks might be different. If the restored data is started without performing a rename, any data that exists on the disks is lost. To compare the information of the physical disk at backup and restore, note the Disk Geometry and Device Size at backup. For more information, see Performing a restore in which Disk Numbers are different from the backup. For version 1.1.6 and later, also compare the Disk ID of the targeted disk on the Create Selection Set page to the Disk ID of the same disk on the NetVault Backup Selections page. Quest strongly recommends that you disconnect all disks that contain critical data from the server before you boot the Plug-in Offline Client. |
Boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the Plug-in Offline Client to prepare it for the restore of a DR image. To complete the boot routine, perform the steps covered in Booting a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with Plug-in Offline Client.
This information should have been noted before the backup — see Verifying Disk Geometry and Device Size. Have this information handy to complete the restore correctly.

Access the NetVault Backup Selections page to verify that the applicable client machine has been added as a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. |
b |
Click the applicable NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, and select Edit from the context menu. |
c |
When the Edit Bare Metal Recovery Client dialog box is displayed, verify that the data is correct or change it as required. |
d |
If the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client is added correctly, skip to the Restore procedure for using Plug-in Offline Client to restore data to a physical machine topic; otherwise, proceed to the next step. |

On the Create Selection Set page, select the data that you want to restore. |
• |
The Dos Compatibility Region is the first 32k to 512 bytes from start of the disk that immediately follows the Master Boot Record (MBR). NetVault Bare Metal Recovery backs up this region to support GRUB Stage 1.5. However, this region is always backed up and restored regardless of the existence of GRUB Stage 1.5. This option is not selectable. |

On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and select Physical Machine (the default) as the Restore Type to restore the backup of a client to a physical machine. |

Inject Boot-Critical Device Driver: If you are restoring to different hardware that also uses a different mass storage controller, select this option. After you select this option, the Boot-Critical Driver Directory and Driver Injection Only options become available. |
• |
Boot-Critical Driver Directory: If you selected the Inject Boot-Critical Device Driver option, enter the complete path to the local drive where the drivers for the mass storage controller are stored. |
• |
Driver Injection Only: If you previously completed a restore but pointed to an incorrect location in the Boot-Critical Driver Directory field, select this option to run the driver-injection portion of the restore process again. This option eliminates the need to restore the data again, but lets you inject the correct drivers. Check that you enter the correct path in the Boot-Critical Driver Directory field. By default, the Inject Boot-Critical Device Driver option remains selected; do not clear it as this option prevents the Driver Injection Only option from working. |
The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

In Job Name, specify a name for the job if you do not want to use the default setting. |

In the Target Client list, select the machine on which you want to restore the data. |
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box. |

Bring SAN disks online (Windows Server 2008 only): If you are using the Enterprise or Datacenter Edition of Windows Server 2008, the default policy for storage-area network (SAN) disks does not include automatically mounting them — this issue does not apply to drive C. After the restore is completed, use Disk Management to set the disk to online. |
• |
Network connection renamed: Because a different network card is in use, the Network Connection is automatically renamed to local area connection 2. |
• |
Physical address: Because a different network card is in use, the physical address, Media Access Controller 9MAC), is different. If you use applications that rely on this address, work with the application’s vendor to address the change. |
