Rapid Recovery lets you restore a machine from bare metal using an archived recovery point.
|
NOTE: This topic applies to Windows machines. If you want to restore a Linux machine from an archive, see performing a BMR for a LInux machine from a Linux archive. |
The following tasks are prerequisites for this procedure.
|
NOTE: This procedure assumes you have an archive from which to restore, and a boot CD ISO image; and that you have started the BMR target machine from the boot ISO image. |
The Restore from Archive tab displays the Location page, and shows the remaining steps required to restore from an archive.
Location Type | Option | Description |
---|---|---|
Local | Local path |
The current location of the archive. For example, D:\work\archive. |
Network | Network path |
The current location of the archive. For example: \\machine\shared_folder\archive. |
User | The user name for network share access. | |
Password | The password for network share access. | |
Cloud | Cloud type | The provider of your cloud storage location. Select from the following options:
|
|
NOTE: Typically for a BMR, you should restore, at minimum, the system reserved volume and the system volume (usually, but not always, the C:\ volume). You must select at least one volume to perform a BMR. |
|
NOTE: To manually map disks, you must first use DiskPart on the Command Line to create and format target volumes. For more information, see DiskPart Command-Line Options (Standard 7 SP1) on the Microsoft Developer Network. |
|
NOTE: If no volumes exist on the drive of the machine on which you are performing a bare metal restore (BMR), you cannot see this option or manually map volumes. |
The default location is X:\ProgramData\AppRecovery\IndexEntriesMaps.
|
NOTE: To ensure that your destination has sufficient free space, divide the total mount volume capacity by 1,024. For example, using the formula |
This procedure describes how to load drivers to the operating system on a bare metal restore (BMR) target. You can use this procedure to troubleshoot driver conflicts for the restored machine.
After performing a BMR, you can load or inject additional drivers to the OS of the restored machine from the URC. You must have the drivers accessible in a compressed format.
The Existing Windows driver management tab of the console appears.
In Rapid Recovery, you can perform a Bare Metal Restore (BMR) for a protected Linux machine, including a restore of the system volume. BMR functionality is supported for Linux using the Restore Machine Wizard from the Core Console, and also using the command line local_mount
utility.
|
Caution: Rapid Recovery supports ext2 partition types only if the kernel is version 3.10 and above. If using an earlier kernel, convert any ext2 partitions to ext3, ext4, or XFS before you begin protecting and backing up the machine. |
|
Caution: When you boot a restored Linux machine for the first time after a BMR, Rapid Recovery Core first attempts to capture an incremental snapshot of the restored machine. If incremental capture is not possible due to the amount of data and the state of the machine, then Rapid Recovery Core captures a base image of the restored machine. This process takes more time than taking an incremental snapshot. For more information about base images and incremental snapshots, see Understanding protection schedules. |
To perform a bare metal restore for Linux machines, perform the following tasks.
If you are using auto-partitioning for BMR within the Core Console, you do not need to mount partitions. Rapid Recovery will restore the same partitions as those included in the recovery point being restored.
When performing a BMR, the destination drive onto which you will be restoring data must have the same partitions as in the recovery point you are restoring. You may need to create partitions to meet this requirement.
You can launch the restore from the command line using the local_mount utility, or you can launch the restore from the Rapid Recovery Core Console. If restoring using the user interface, you must first mount the partitions.
