If you are restoring to a computer which has the same hard disk configuration as that of the backed up computer, perform a Similar System Restore using one of the following methods:
A recovery point is a point-in-time configuration of the client containing the network configuration, mountpoint details and information about the client itself. A new client configuration (recovery point) is generated on subsequent backups if the client's hardware has changed, or changes have been made to the network, storage or mountpoint configuration.
Use the client configuration stored on the CommServe to create a recovery response file needed to perform a non-interactive recovery.

You can change the client name and the host name temporarily during the restore process. This will be useful if the source computer and the computer being recovered are different and you do not want to turn off the source client until the restore completes successfully. You can also use this option when the source machine and the machine being recovered are same, to prevent corruption of the source client if the recovery process fails for any reason.
During the restore, the Linux File System iDataAgent will be installed in the restore only mode with the new client name and host name. The CommServe and MediaAgent should be able to connect to the computer being recovered with the new host name. After the restore completes successfully, the temporary client will be deleted. The original client name and hostname and network settings, which were backed up will be restored. You must turn off the source client before rebooting the restored client. |
