Using NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Plug-in Live Client for Windows®

Plug-in Live Client for Windows: an overview

This topic describes how to install, configure, and use Plug-in Live Client for Windows® for backing up and restoring data.

Plug-in Live Client for Windows, referred to as the Plug-in Live Client, is a DR solution that lets you back up and restore a hard disk on a target client, including the OS, applications, system settings, partition information, and data.

Backup: Backup lets you target a Windows-based system, and perform a full and complete backup of its contents while the system remains online and available to users.
Recovery: Recovery requires that you use the included Plug-in Offline Client boot utility to take the protected Windows-based system offline, which allows for complete access to its hard disk for restore operations.

In addition, the Plug-in Live Client also provides the following features:

VSS-based snapshots: For VSS-enabled applications such as SQL Server®, Exchange, and SharePoint®, the software uses VSS to quiesce these applications before taking the snapshot. Using VSS to quiesce the applications reduces the amount of application crash recovery that must be performed after recovery of the image file. This method is only supported on Windows Server® 2008.
Eliminate backup ‘whitespace’: This feature lets you back up only the used blocks on the partition. For example, if a machine has a “C:” drive of size 10 GB and only 6 GB is used, the plug-in only backs up 6 GB, the used space. This feature saves a considerable amount of time and space.
Restore as VMDK Image: This feature restores the backup of a physical machine to a VMDK Image that can be used to create a VM.
IMPORTANT: This plug-in works with the Plug-in Server. Before backing up with the Plug-in Live Client, install the Plug-in Server and verify connectivity between target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients and the NetVault Backup Server where Plug-in Server is installed. In addition, the Plug-in Server is required to perform all restores of Plug-in Live Client backups.

Plug-in Live Client environment overview for Windows

The processes required to set up and use the Plug-in Live Client must be followed in a specific order. The following list offers a rough outline of how to establish a Plug-in Live Client environment.

Required components: Verify that you have the Plug-in Server, Plug-in Live Client, and Plug-in Offline Client.
Verify access to the Plug-in Server: Verify that all target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Clients are accessible to the Plug-in Server. Failure to do so may result in an inability to perform a restore.
Install the Plug-in Live Client on any NetVault Backup Heterogeneous Client machine requiring active DR backups, for example, the clients added in Step ▪, but not the NetVault Backup Server itself.
Perform online backups with the Plug-in Live Client: From the NetVault Backup Server, perform online backups as required, of each NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client using the Plug-in Live Client, for example, OS, applications, system settings.
Recovery: Perform an offline restore to the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.

Configuring Plug-in Server for use with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The second phase of setting up the Plug-in Server involves environment configuration. The topics that follow fully illustrate the procedures that must be followed to complete both of these steps.
