NOTE: To identify the recovery point, you can also specify a line number in the commandinstead of the recovery point ID number. In that case, use the agent/machine line number (fromthe lm output), followed by the recovery point line number and volume letter, followed by thepath, such as, r [machine_line_item_number] [recovery_point_line_number] [volume_letter][path]. In this command, [path] is the file descriptor for the actual volume.For example, if the lm output lists three agent machines, and you enter the lr command fornumber 2, and you want to roll back the 23 recovery point volume b to the volume that wasmounted to the directory /mnt/data, the command is: r2 23 b /mnt/data.NOTE: It is possible to roll back to /, but only when performing a Bare Metal Restore whilebooted with a Live CD. For more information, see Performing A Bare Metal Restore For A LinuxMachine.7. When prompted to proceed, enter y for Yes.after the rollback proceeds, a series of messages appear that notify you of the status.8. Upon a successful rollback, the aamount utility automatically mounts and reattach the kernelmodule to the rolled back volume if the target was previously protected and mounted. If not, mountthe rollback volume to the local disk and then verify that the files are restored.For example, you can use the sudo mount command and then the ls command.CAUTION: Do not unmount a protected Linux volume manually. In the event that you needto manually unmount a protected Linux volume, you must execute the following commandbefore unmounting the volume: bsctl -d [path to volume].In this command, [path to volume] does not refer to the mount point of the volume but insteadrefers to the file descriptor of the volume; it must be in a form similar to: /dev/sda1.About bare metal restore for Windows machinesServers, when operating as expected, run and perform the tasks they are configured to do. When acatastrophic event occurs, rendering the server inoperable, immediate steps are needed to restore theserver to its previous operating condition. The process typically entails reformatting the machine,reinstalling the operating system, recovering data through backups, and reinstalling software applications.AppAssure provides the ability to perform a bare metal restore (BMR) for your Windows machineswhether the hardware is similar or dissimilar. This process encompasses creating a boot CD image,burning the image to disk, booting up the target server from disk, connecting to the recovery consoleinstance, mapping volumes, initiating the recovery, and then monitoring the process. After the bare metalrestore is complete, you can continue with the task of loading the operating system and the softwareapplications on the restored server, followed by your unique settings and configuration.Other circumstances in which you may choose to perform a bare metal restore include hardwareupgrade or server replacement.BMR functionality is also supported for your protected Linux machines using the command-line aamountutility. For more information, see Performing A Bare Metal Restore For A Linux Machine.Prerequisites for performing a bare metal restore for a Windows machineBefore you can begin the process of performing a bare metal restore for a Windows machine, you mustensure that the following conditions and criteria exist:• Backups of the server and the functioning Core131
