Restore from bootable media

If the OS does not boot, you can restore a backup from bootable media—a system image with drivers. You can create it in advance or download a ready-made ISO file; see more in the Creating bootable media section of the Cyber Backup Cloud documentation.

  1. If you do not have a previously created bootable medium, download the ready-made ISO file.
  2. Optional: generate a registration token.
  3. Restore from backup.

1. Optional: download the ready-made ISO file

If you already have a previously created bootable medium, you do not need to download the ready-made ISO file.

  1. In the Cyber Backup panel, go to Devices → All devices.
  2. Select a machine.
  3. Click Recover → Other recovery ways → Download ISO image.

2. Optional: generate a registration token

With a registration token, you can access the backup storage without entering a username and password. To generate a registration token, follow the Managing registration tokens section of the Cyber Backup Cloud documentation.

  6. Configure the network settings so that the machine has internet access.
  7. Click OK.

  11. Select the machine, the recovery point, and mark the data to be recovered (logical volumes, physical disks, or files).
  12. Check the parameters.
  13. Click Recover Disk 1, where Disk 1 is the name of the data to be recovered.
  14. Specify the disk or volume to which the backup will be recovered.
  15. Click OK. You can track the recovery progress on the Recovery progress tab.
