Creating a bootable CD ISO image

To perform a BMR for a Windows machine, you must create a bootable CD/ISO image in the Core Console, which contains the AppAssure Universal Recovery Console interface. The AppAssure Universal Recovery Console is an environment used to restore the system drive or the entire server directly from the AppAssure Core.

The ISO image that you create is tailored to the machine being restored; therefore, it must contain the correct network and mass storage drivers. If you anticipate that you will be restoring to different hardware from the machine on which you are creating the boot CD, you must include storage controller and other drivers in the boot CD see Injecting Drivers in a Boot CD .

  • NOTE: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international body of representatives from various national organizations who determine and set file system standards. The ISO 9660 is a file system standard that is used for optical disk media for the exchange of data. It supports various operating systems, such as Windows. An ISO image is the archive file or disk image, which contains data for every sector of the disk as well as the disk file system.

To create a bootable CD ISO image:

  1. From the Core Console on which the server you want to restore is located, select the Core and then click the Tools tab.
  2. Click Boot CDs.
  3. Select Actions, and then click Create Boot ISO. The Create Boot CD dialog box displays. To complete the dialog box, use the following procedures.
