6. To select a recovery point for rollback, enter the following command:
r [volume_recovery_point_ID_number] [path]
This command rolls back the volume image specified by the ID from the Core to the specified path.
The path for the rollback is the path for the device file descriptor and is not the directory to which it
is mounted.
NOTE: To identify the recovery point, you can also specify a line number in the command
instead of the recovery point ID number. In that case, use the agent/machine line number (from
the lm output), followed by the recovery point line number and volume letter, followed by the
path, 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 for
number 2, and you want to roll back the 23 recovery point volume b to the volume that was
mounted to the directory /mnt/data, the command is: r2 23 b /mnt/data.
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 kernel
module to the rolled back volume if the target was previously protected and mounted. If not, mount
the 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.
Launching Bare Metal Restore For Windows Machines
AppAssure provides the ability to perform a Bare Metal Restore (BMR) for your Windows machines
whether 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 console
instance, mapping volumes, initiating the recovery, and then monitoring the process. After the bare metal
restore is complete, you can continue with the task of loading the operating system and the software
applications 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 hardware
upgrade or server replacement.
BMR functionality is also supported for your protected Linux machines using the command-line aamount
utility. For more information, see Launching A Bare Metal Restore For A Linux Machine.
Roadmap For Performing A Bare Metal Restore For A Windows Machine
To perform a BMR for a Windows machine:
1. Create a boot CD.
2. Burn the image to disk.
3. Boot the target server from the boot CD.
4. Connect to the recovery disk.
5. Map the volumes.
6. Initiate the recovery.
7. Monitor the progress.
