A LiveCD is an OS that boots from a CD without the necessity of installing to a hard drive. This tool lets you initiate DR without the OS on disk. Plug-in Server supports booting from a LiveCD with VaultOS on a separate device, such as a USB device (Rescue USB) that uses the 3.0 protocol or earlier, or a different CD (Rescue CD).
The following items are required to create a Rescue CD or Rescue USB device:
• |
• |
A USB port and a USB device with enough space to hold the “drdaemon” and “vaultdr_client.sh” files; 1 MB is sufficient, |
