The Plug-in Offline Client includes a component known as VaultOS. VaultOS is a minimal OS that is used to boot a target DR client system to prepare it for backup or restore, depending on the plug-in in use. This minimal OS starts the target client, loads all applicable device drivers, and leaves its hard drive in a state suitable for either backup or restore.
There are two versions of the VaultOS, one that uses a Linux boot loader and one that uses a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE). The version that you choose to use also affects which Plug-in Offline Client features are available to use.
