The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.

In Job Name, specify a name for the job. |
2 |
In the Target Client list, select the NetVault Server as the target for the restore. |
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box. |

Leave all other options available on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options lists at their default settings. |

IMPORTANT: Recovery of the Boot Image information, regardless of the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client it was performed from, creates a CD-creation file entitled “linuxboot.iso” in the …/tmp directory. If Boot Image information is recovered from an additional Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client using these steps, its “linuxboot.iso” file is restored and overwrites any file of the same name in this directory without warning. Therefore, Quest recommends that you complete this process for a single Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, before you try to recover backed-up Boot Image information from an additional Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. |

Start the CD-generation software, access the “linuxboot.iso” file that resides in the directory named in Step 1, and create the CD using the necessary utilities within the CD-generation software. |
NOTE: As CD-generation software varies, no instruction is given here on how to start or administer its use. For complete instructions on generating a CD using an “.iso” CD creation file, see the relevant software’s documentation. |
IMPORTANT: Provided the hardware configuration in the target Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client does not change, this CD can be saved for future use in booting the client for the recovery of future DR images recorded with this plug-in. However, if new networking hardware is implemented or the device driver files in the client machine change any time, the Boot Image data for the client must be backed up again and this procedure must be repeated to create a CD.
The Boot CD is unable to load devices for which proper driver files are not incorporated in the Boot Image backup. Quest recommends that you test the boot media on the target Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for successful loading of all the devices during boot up process. |
The steps required to recover a DR image performed with the Plug-in Live Client for Linux vary based on how the data was originally managed during backup. The following topics cover the processes required to complete each of these steps.

NOTE: If a disk is comprised of four primary partitions, the fourth partition is automatically converted to an extended logical partition during the recovery. Having a fourth primary partition inhibits the ability to add more partitions to the disk later. By converting the fourth partition to a logical one, you can use additional space on a hard disk to create future partitions, for example, if the recovery is being performed to disk that is larger than the original. There is no data loss associated with this behavior. You are alerted to this fact during the boot routine in a dialog box of the System Installation for Linux; for details on this process, see Booting the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the appropriate OS and drivers for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux. |
