Launching A Restore From The Appassure 5 Core

To launch a restore from the AppAssure 5 Core:
1. If the NICs on any system being restored are teamed (bonded), remove all but one of the network cables.
NOTE: AppAssure Restore does not recognize teamed NICs. The process is not able to resolve which NIC to
use if presented with more than one active connection.
2. Navigate back to the Core server and open the AppAssure 5 Core Console.
3. On the Machines tab, select the machine from which you want to restore data.
4. Click the Actions menu for the machine, click Recovery Points to view a list of all recovery points for that machine.
5. Expand the recovery point from which you want to restore, then click Rollback.
6. In the Rollback dialog box, under Choose Destination, select Recovery Console Instance.
7. In the Host and Password text boxes, enter the IP address and the authentication password for the new server to
which you want to restore data.
NOTE: The Host and Password values are the credentials you recorded in the previous task. For more
information, see
8. Click Load Volumes to load the target volumes to the new machine.

Mapping Volumes

To map volumes:
1. From the Volume Mapping pane on the Rollback dialog box, specify which volumes to load and how to map them to
the disks on the new machine. This can be done for you automatically or you can manually assign them.
– Select automatic mapping of volumes.
NOTE: For automatic disk alignment, the disk is cleaned and re-partitioned and all data is deleted. The
alignment is performed in the order the volumes are listed and the volumes are allocated to the disks
appropriately according to size, and so on. A disk can be used by multiple volumes. If you manually
map the drives, note that you cannot use the same disk twice.
– Select the manual mapping of volumes.
NOTE: For manual mapping, you must have the new machine correctly formatted already. Before you
start the restore, ensure that the new machine has the appropriate size and quantity of volumes to
store the restored server volumes. If you have multiple volumes in the rollback, create new partitions
or volumes manually on the new machine. In the Universal Recovery Console interface, click the
Command Prompt button, to launch the Windows command prompt and create appropriate disk
partitions. A partition is a low-level definition of a volume. A new system volume is usually created as
a partition, so it can be made bootable. Partitions can also be designated as system-reserved for
compatibility with newer Windows 2008 and Windows 7 installations.
2. In the Disk Mapping dialog box that is displayed after you have configured volume mapping, click Begin Rollback to
launch the rollback.

Viewing The Recovery Progress

After you initiate the rollback process, you automatically return to the Recovery Points tab until the recovery event
commences and then to the Events tab, where you can view the status of recovery. The Events tab is displayed the task
and status as well as the start and end times.
