DRLM Client Recover

In this section we show how to recover a system which has been backed up.

In this example your client and server has the following configuration. You have to adapt it to your case.

DRLM Server Host Name: DRLMsrv
DRLM Server IP: 192.168.2.120

ReaR Client Host Name: fosdemcli4
ReaR Client IP: 192.168.2.102

Step by Step Client Recover

Reboot the Client and select boot from network. Automaticaly will boot from PXE.

  1. The DRLM server gives us through PXE/TFTP the client boot system. We just have to select first menu option to enter in the recovery system.
