Recover the System
Overview
The WES Client provides a recovery function which allows you to revert to a backed up system when
encountering a serious problem. You can back up an OS image which is working normally to USB
memory or the PXE server. You can revert to a backed up image when your client has one of these
problems:
z
When a system file is deleted accidentally or is corrupted
z
When the client computer is unstable or there is a problem with a device driver
z
When problems occur, after installing a new program or device
z
When the client computer is infected with a virus
z
When Windows Embedded Standard fails to start When a system file is deleted accidentally or is
corrupted
How to Recover the System

PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment)
server. The PXE sever
provides a client/server interface based on
TCP/IP
,
DHCP
, and
TFTP
. It allows an administrator at a
remote location to configure and boot the operating system onto a client over a network.
Implement a
PXE
server.
Save the
Windows Embedded Standard
image and the Backup/Recovery Utility which will be
recovered later onto the PXE server.
Boot the client via the network.
Recover the system using the Windows Embedded Standard
image and the Backup/Recovery
Utility saved on the PXE server via the network.
For more information, refer to the PXE Server User Manual.
