System Recovery
This section describes the system recovery process using the system recovery image, also called the WIM
image.
Initial WIM
Recovery Image
The initial WIM image is captured to the System Recovery USB stick at the
customer’s facility during initial system deployment. At the time of shipment,
the System Recovery USB stick does not include a WIM file.
Customers should confirm the final production-ready Versio configuration is
captured to the USB stick during system deployment.
Create a WIM
Recovery Image
Prepare the Drive for Capture
When you capture a WIM image, you are capturing the current state of a
specific drive on the Versio system to use for future system recovery.
A WIM image capture can contain extremely large files. Before capturing the
image you should delete any unnecessary files (like log files and temporary
files) that are unnecessary to store as a part of the WIM image capture.
Format a Third-Party USB Stick
The WIM image must be captured to a properly formatted USB stick. It is
recommended that the WIM image is captured to the System Recovery USB
stick, which is already properly formatted for the WIM image.
If you are using a third-party USB stick, use the following steps to format the
USB stick for the WIM image.
1 Insert the third-party USB stick into the USB port on the back of the Versio
system.
2 On the Versio system, open the Programs\PE_Apps folder.
3 Double-click NxImage.exe to start the NxImage application.
