Recovering disks by using bootable media

For information about how to create bootable media, refer to "Creating bootable media".

To recover disks by using bootable media

  1. Boot the target machine by using bootable media.
  2. [Only when recovering a Mac] If you are recovering APFS-formatted disks/volumes to a non-original machine or to bare metal, re-create the original disk configuration manually:
    1. Click Disk Utility.
    2. Re-create the original disk configuration. For instructions, refer to https://support.apple.com/guide/disk-utility/welcome.
    3. Click Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
  3. Click Manage this machine locally or click Rescue Bootable Media twice, depending on the media type you are using.
  4. If a proxy server is enabled in your network, click Tools > Proxy server, and then specify the proxy server host name/IP address, port, and credentials. Otherwise, skip this step.
  5. [Optional] When recovering Windows or Linux, click Tools > Register media in the Cyber Protection service, and then specify the registration token that you obtained when downloading the media. If you do this, you will not need to enter credentials or a registration code to access the cloud storage, as described in step 8.
  6. On the welcome screen, click Recover.
  7. Click Select data, and then click Browse.
  8. Specify the backup location:

    Click OK to confirm your selection.

  9. Select the backup from which you want to recover the data. If prompted, type the password for the backup.
  10. In Backup contents, select the disks that you want to recover. Click OK to confirm your selection.
  11. Under Where to recover, the software automatically maps the selected disks to the target disks.

    If the mapping is not successful or if you are unsatisfied with the mapping result, you can re-map disks manually.

    Changing disk layout may affect the operating system bootability. Please use the original machine's disk layout unless you feel fully confident of success.

  12. [When recovering Linux] If the backed-up machine had logical volumes (LVM) and you want to reproduce the original LVM structure:
    1. Ensure that the number of the target machine disks and each disk capacity are equal to or exceed those of the original machine, and then click Apply RAID/LVM.
    2. Review the volume structure, and then click Apply RAID/LVM to create it.
  13. [Optional] Click Recovery options to specify additional settings.
  14. Click OK to start the recovery.
