Using the Universal Recovery Console for a BMR
Before launching a bare metal restore (BMR) for a Windows machine, the following conditions are required:
•
To restore a recovery point saved on the Core, you must have the appropriate hardware in place. For more information,
Prerequisites for performing a bare metal restore for a Windows machine
.
•
The BMR destination Windows machine must be started using the boot CD image. For more information, see
Understanding boot CD creation for Windows machines
.
A BMR initiates a machine using a recovery point you select. The recovery point includes drivers from the
previous hardware. If restoring to dissimilar hardware, then you must inject storage controller drivers into the
operating system being restored using the URC after the data has been restored to the drive, This lets the
restored operating system start using the new set of hardware. After the OS starts, you can then download and
install any additional drivers the OS needs to interact with the new hardware.
To launch a BMR from the Rapid Recovery Core Console, perform the following tasks.

About the Universal Recovery Console tools
The Universal Recovery Console (URC) includes access to tools that may assist you with completing a bare metal
restore (BMR).
You can find the following tools by clicking the center icon at the top of the Dell splash screen on a BMR target
that is booted into the URC:
•
Far Manager. This tool is similar to Windows Explorer. It provides a way to browse for files on the server until you
complete the BMR and install an operating system with its own browsing function, such as Windows Explorer.
•
Chromium. This browser is the open-source basis for Google Chrome™ and lets you browse the Internet on a server that
has a network controller loaded through the URC.
•
PuTTY. This tool is an open-source terminal emulator. In the context of a Rapid Recovery BMR, it lets you connect to a
NAS storage device that does not include a user interface. This capability may be necessary if you want to restore from
an archive and the archive is on a NAS.
•
Notepad. As in a Windows operating system, this tool lets you type unformatted notes and view log files.
•
Task Manager. As in a Windows operating system, this tool lets you manage processes and monitor the performance of
the server while the restore is in progress.
•
Registry Editor. As in a Windows operating system, this tool lets you change the system registry of the BMR target.
•
Command Prompt. This tool lets you perform commands on the BMR target outside of the URC until you install a user
interface.
