Restore BMR R1soft

This guide should give you general guide about how to restore BMR r1soft.

Make sure the Bare Metal Restore is available on backup manager 🙂

1. Configure the target server first.
   1. Configure RAID on target server so both target and source server have the same disk space.
   2. Boot target server using LiveCD r1soft, you can download on this link http://repo.r1soft.com/bm/
   3. Boot to liveCD (debian based) and configure networking so its pingable. (Assign available IP)
   4. Restart cdp-agent
2. Configure backup manager
   1. Add target server machine on backup manager
   2. If you already follow #1 step, “Test Agent Connection” should not give you any errors
3. Restore BMR from source server recovery points
   1. Open recovery points > choose ‘Bare Metal Restore’.
   2. Select target server machine
   3. Restore partition table and select and map it manually.
   4. After restore finished, restart target server and boot to OS.
   5. Unplug target server WAN to avoid IP conflict.

Note :

1. For linux server, you need to restore swap partition if there is any
2. May need to reconfigure target server network again
