If you want to perform a BMR using the Rapid Recovery Core Console UI, see Selecting a recovery point and initiating a BMR.
This task is a step in Performing a bare metal restore for Linux machines. It is part of the process for Launching a bare metal restore for a Linux machine using the command line.

A list displays the base and incremental recovery points for that machine. This list includes:
NOTE: You can also specify a line number in the command instead of the recovery point ID number to identify the recovery point. In that case, use the agent/machine line number (from the lm output), followed by the recovery point line number and volume letter (from the lettered list of volumes within the recovery point), followed by the path. For example:
r <machine_line_item_number> <base_image_recovery_point_line_number> <volume_letter> <path>
For example, type:
r 1 24 a /dev/sda1
In this command, <path> is the file descriptor for the actual volume. |

In Rapid Recovery, you can restore volumes on your protected Linux machines using the command line local_mount utility.
NOTE: This process was previously referred to as Rollback. When performing this procedure, do not attempt to mount recovery points to the /tmp folder, which contains the rapidrecovery-vdisk (formerly aavdisk) files. Restoring volumes is also supported for your protected machines within the Rapid Recovery Core Console. See About restoring volumes from a recovery point for more information. |

A list displays showing the machines protected by this Rapid Recovery server. It lists the protected machines found by line item number, host/IP address, and an ID number for the machine (for example: 7d658e5f-fa08-4600-95f0-5f486bc1b6a4#de0896fd-571a-4cc5-aeed-264d2c3c72f4#f377e145-dd4d-3ac3-5b15-37ce8f4913ba:2).

For example, if the lm output lists three protected machines, and you enter the lr command for protected machine number 2, and you want to restore the 23 recovery point volume b to the volume that was mounted to the directory /dev/sda5, the command would be:

Once the restore proceeds, a series of messages will display to notify you of the status.
8. |
Upon a successful restore, the local_mount utility will automatically mount and re-attach the kernel module to the restored volume if the target was previously protected and mounted. If not, you will need to mount the restored volume to the local disk and then should verify that the files are restored (for example, you can use the sudo mount command and then the ls command.) |
Complete the steps in this procedure to view the progress of restoring data from a recovery point (including bare metal restore) initiated from the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
