Restoring a Cyber Recovery software installation after a disaster

Use the crsetup.sh setup script with the recover option to perform a disaster recovery.

1. Install the same version of the Cyber Recovery software that was running before the disaster occurred.

   If you were running an installation that included patch updates, install the patch updates also.

   NOTE We recommend that when you reinstall the Cyber Recovery software for this procedure that you use the same password that was used in the previous installation for the crso account, the MongoDB database, and the lockbox. This same password makes it easier to complete the recovery procedure. We also recommend that you use the same installation locations.
2. When the installation is complete, start the UI and validate that the configuration is empty.
3. Close the UI.
4. Start the Cyber Recovery software restore procedure:
   1. Run the crsetup.sh setup script:

       crsetup.sh --recover

   2. Type y to continue:

       Do you want to continue [y/n]:

   3. Type y to confirm and continue:

       Are you REALLY sure you want to continue [y/n]:

   4. Type the full path to the Cyber Recovery backup tar package location, for example:
      /tmp/cr_backups/cr.19.2.1.0-3.2019-09-19.08_02_09.tar.gz
   5. Type the newly installed MongoDB password.

      Please enter the newly installed MongoDB password:

      NOTE This password is the password that you created when you reinstalled the Cyber Recovery software in step 1.
   6. Type the lockbox passphrase for the original installation, that is, the installation before the disaster:

      Enter the previously saved lockbox passphrase:

      The Cyber Recovery restore operation proceeds and then returns a success message when it completes:

      19.02.19 08_45_20 :
      19.02.19 08_45_20 : Cyber Recovery has been successfully recovered onto this system
      19.02.19 08_45_20 :

5. Log in to the Cyber Recovery UI or the CRCLI and validate that the previous installation has been restored.
