The Windows-based Universal Recovery Console (URC) includes access to tools that may assist you in completing a bare metal restore (BMR).
You can find the following tools by clicking- Far Manager. This tool is similar to Windows Explorer. It provides a way to browse for files on the server until you complete the BMR and install an operating system with its own browsing function, such as Windows Explorer.
- Chromium. This open-source browser lets you access the Internet on a server that has a network controller loaded through the URC.
- PuTTY. This tool is an open-source terminal emulator. In the context of performing a BMR in Rapid Recovery, it lets you connect to a NAS storage device that does not include a user interface. This capability may be necessary if you want to restore from an archive stored on a NAS.
- Notepad. As in a Windows operating system, this text tool lets you type unformatted notes and view log files.
- Task Manager. As in a Windows operating system, this tool lets you manage processes and monitor the performance of the server while the restore is in progress.
- Registry Editor. As in a Windows operating system, this tool lets you change the system registry of the BMR target.
- Command Prompt. This tool lets you perform commands on the BMR target outside of the URC until you install a user interface.
