Restoring Volumes from a Recovery Point
You can restore the volumes on a protected machine from the recovery points stored in the AppAssure
Core. To restore volumes from a recovery point:
1.
In the Core Console, click the
Restore
tab.
The
Restore Machine Wizard
appears.
2.
From the
Protected Machines
page, select the protected machine for which you want to restore
data, and then click
Next
.
NOTE: The protected machine must have the Agent software installed and must have recovery
points from which you will perform the restore operation.
The
Recovery Points
page appears.
3.
From the list of recovery points, search for the snapshot you want to restore to the agent machine.
NOTE: If required, use the navigation buttons at the bottom of the page to display additional
recovery points. Or if you want to limit the amount of recovery points showing in the Recovery
Points page of the wizard, you can filter by volumes (if defined) or by creation date of the
recovery point.
4.
Click any recovery point to select it, and then click
Next
.
The
Destination
page appears.
5.
On the
Destination
page, choose the machine to which you want to restore data as follows:
• If you want to restore data from the selected recovery point to the same agent machine (for
example, Machine1), and if the volumes you want to restore do not include the system volume,
then select
Recover to a protected machine (only non-system volumes)
, verify that the
destination machine (Machine1) is selected, and then click
Next
. The
Volume Mapping
page
appears. Proceed to Step 7.
• If you want to restore data from the selected recovery point to a different protected machine (for
example, to replace the contents of Machine2 with data from Machine1), then select
Recover to a
protected machine (only non-system volumes)
, select the destination machine (for example,
Machine2) from the list, and then click
Next
. The
Volume Mapping
page appears. Proceed to
Step 7.
• If you want to restore from the selected recovery point to the same machine or a different
machine using a boot CD and if the volumes you want to restore do not include the system
volume, then select
Recover to any target machine using a boot CD
.
• To continue and create the boot CD with information from the selected recovery point, click
Next
and proceed to Step 10.
• If you have already created the boot CD and the target machine has been started using the boot
CD, then proceed to Step 17.
• If you want to restore from a recovery point to a system volume (for example, the C drive of the
agent machine named Machine1), you must perform a BMR. For more information on performing
a BMR for Windows, see
Launching Bare Metal Restore For Windows Machines
.
• For more information on performing a BMR for Linux, see Roadmap for Performing a Bare Metal
Restore for Linux Machines

To connect to the Universal Recovery Console (URC) on the target machine, do the following:
a. Select
I already have a boot CD running on the target machine
.
b. In the IP address text box, enter the IP address of the target machine with the boot CD.
c. In the Authentication Key text box, enter the authentication key from the URC on the target
machine, and then click
Next
.
The
Disk Mapping
page appears. Proceed to Step 20.
