Physical machine

This section describes recovery of physical machines by using the web interface.

Use bootable media instead of the web interface if you need to recover:

Recovery of an operating system requires a reboot. You can choose whether to restart the machine automatically or assign it the Interaction required status. The recovered operating system goes online automatically.

To recover a physical machine

  1. Select the backed-up machine.
  2. Click Recovery.
  3. Select a recovery point. Note that recovery points are filtered by location.

    If the machine is offline, the recovery points are not displayed. Do any of the following:

  4. Click Recover > Entire machine.

    The software automatically maps the disks from the backup to the disks of the target machine.

    To recover to another physical machine, click Target machine, and then select a target machine that is online.

  5. If you are unsatisfied with the mapping result or if the disk mapping fails, click Volume mapping to re-map the disks manually.

    The mapping section also enables you to choose individual disks or volumes for recovery. You can switch between recovering disks and volumes by using the Switch to... link in the top-right corner.

  6. [Optional] Enable Safe recovery to scan the backup for malware. If malware is detected, it will be marked in the backup and deleted right after the recovery process is completed.
  7. Click Start recovery.
  8. Confirm that you want to overwrite the disks with their backed-up versions. Choose whether to restart the machine automatically.

The recovery progress is shown on the Activities tab.
