Bare Metal Recovery with LOGICnow MAX Backup

[Andy]

LOGICnow MAX Backup can be used to recover a system from scratch.

Bare metal recovery allows you to recover your system directly to bare hardware (or VM) without a prior OS installation and return to its previous state.

Supported operating systems (as of 2016-10-06):

• Windows Vista
• Windows 7
• Windows 8 / 8.1
• Windows 10
• Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2
• Windows Server 2012 / 2012 R2

Operating system requirement applies to the source computer and to the computer on which the bootable media is created.

To get started:

1. Go to MAX Backup Additional Tools page, from the ‘BARE METAL RECOVERY’ section, select either .EXE download (for creating bootable USB drive) or .ISO download (for creating bootable DVD drive)
2. Install or burn the Bare Metal Recovery tool on your USB drive or DVD drive.
3. Boot the USB drive / DVD drive you just created (Make sure the BIOS/UEFI settings are intact. If you boot in a mode that isn’t compatible with the firmware used on the source computer, the restore session will fail.)
4. Configure or confirm network settings using the command line options (use number to perform the task)
   
   
5. Backup Manager wizard will open in a chromium-embedded browser, enter the backup device configuration.

7. Choose the data to restore.
   
   
8. Finally, click ‘Restore’ to begin the restore process.
