12 Introduction Bare Metal Recovery overview System requirements Supported operating systems Supported Microsoft applications This guide provides detailed information about Windows Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) solution by using EMC NetWorker and EMC NetWorker Module for Microsoft (NMM), how this solution works, and the procedures that you are required to follow for BMR of the supported Microsoft applications. BMR is a technique in the field of data recovery and restoration where the backed up data is available in a form that allows you to restore a system from bare metal, that is, without any requirements as to previously installed software or operating system. Typically, the backed up data includes the necessary operating system, applications, and data components to rebuild or restore the backed up system to an entirely separate piece of hardware. The hardware receiving the restore should have a similar configuration as that of the hardware that was the source of the backup. The basic BMR is the process of bringing up a server after a disaster and ensuring that the system recovers with the operating system, the applications, and the data as they were at the time of the failure. Restoring a server to the exact configuration that it had at the time of its destruction can be a difficult task. When this restoration is performed to another hardware, it can add to the complexity of the process and can be time-consuming. Windows BMR solution provides a flexible and reliable method of restoring a server after a disaster. The following sections list requirements to perform Windows BMR. However, the EMC NetWorker Online Software Compatibility Guide provides the latest information about the system requirements to perform Windows BMR by using NMM. The EMC NetWorker Online Software Compatibility Guide provides information about the operating systems and versions that NMM supports. The EMC NetWorker Online Software Compatibility Guide provides information about the Microsoft applications and versions that NMM supports. NetWorker software version requirements The EMC NetWorker Online Software Compatibility Guide provides information about the NetWorker software versions that NMM supports. Use the NetWorker Windows BMR 32-bit ISO image to recover an x86 operating system on either an x86 or x64 computer. Use the NetWorker Windows BMR 64-bit ISO image to recover only an x64 operating system on an x64 computer. 12 EMC NetWorker Module for Microsoft for Windows Bare Metal Recovery Solution User Guide

13 Introduction Microsoft BMR requirements Perform BMR recoveries to the same or similar hardware, and physical to virtual environment. The following Microsoft KB article provides the requirements to perform a BMR to similar hardware: CPU requirements The operating system architecture and the processor architecture must match. Hard disk requirements NIC driver requirements Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) must match. You can treat AMD or Intel processors as being the same if they follow the same architecture. You can recover the operating system backup of an AMD x64 computer to an Intel x64 computer. The process is reversible. You can restore the backup of an x86 operating system version only to an x86 processor computer. You can restore the backup of an x64 operating system version only to an x64 processor computer. The disk or RAID drivers that are used in the old system must be compatible with the disk or RAID controllers in the new system. For each critical disk on the BMR target system, the startup hard disk capacity on the new system must be greater than or equal to the capacity on the old system. BMR fails if the capacity is smaller by even a single byte. Windows BMR supports IDE, SATA, or SCSI hard disks. You can perform the backup on one type of hard disk and recover on another type. For example, SAS to SATA is supported. You must restore the backup to the same logical disk numbers as on the original server. You cannot use different logical disk numbers on the target system to recover the critical volumes such as the operating system volume. Ensure that the RAID setup on the destination computer does not interfere with the disk order of the hard disks. To use different Network Interface Card (NIC) after a Windows BMR recovery, install new NIC drivers that match the NIC in the new computer after Windows starts on the new server. Critical and noncritical volume requirements Windows BMR backs up only critical volumes, and can be used for offline disaster recovery. Use the NetWorker client to back up the non-critical volumes. Microsoft BMR requirements 13

14 Introduction Note System Reserved Partition requirements NetWorker considers only system volume as a critical volume. If you have installed a Microsoft application on a drive other than the system drive, the drive is not considered as critical. On Windows Server 2008 R2, a volume is critical if a Microsoft application has installed a Windows service on it, but on Windows Server 2012, a volume that has a Windows application service installed is not critical. To make a volume critical on Windows Server 2012, set the value of the HKLM \System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SystemWriter \ReportWin32ServicesNonSystemState registry key to 0. This ensures that BMR includes the Microsoft application binaries, and the volume on which they are installed is marked as critical. Ensure that System Reserved Partition (SRP) is online before you perform a BMR backup. Otherwise, the backup fails and displays the following error messages: 84687:save: Unable to get volume information of file system '\ \?\Volume{245204f6-5ff7-11e2-a3ac-806e6f6e6963}\': The device is not ready. (Win32 error 0x15). VSS OTHER: ERROR: VSS failed to process snapshot: The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process the specified operation. (VSS error 0x f) 90108:save: Unable to save the SYSTEM STATE save sets: cannot create the snapshot :save: Error occured while saving disaster recovery save sets. If SRP is offline, perform the following steps to bring it online: 1. In the WinPE command prompt, type diskpart and press Enter. 2. Run the following command to display the list of volumes: DISKPART> list volume 3. Run the following command to select the volume that is offline: DISKPART> select <volume_name> 4. Run the following command to bring the selected volume online: DISKPART> online volume Protecting an environment before a disaster To prepare for disaster recovery, back up application data and other necessary files. Procedure 1. Use NetWorker client to back up non-application data. The EMC NetWorker Administration Guide provides details about using the NetWorker client to backup non-application files. 2. If you use a NetWorker server earlier than 9.0.x, create a NetWorker group without enabling the Snapshot option. Otherwise, create a policy. 3. Create a NetWorker client resource, and assign it to the group that you created in step EMC NetWorker Module for Microsoft for Windows Bare Metal Recovery Solution User Guide

15 Introduction 4. Configure the NetWorker client resource by typing ALL in the Save set field, and clearing the Backup command and Application information fields. 5. Perform a backup. 6. Use NMM to perform a full backup of application data. The NMM application specific user guides, available from EMC Online Support, provide details about how to perform a full backup. BMR by using NetWorker and NMM From NMM 9.0, perform Windows file system backup and recovery by using the NetWorker client, and application-specific backup and recovery by using NMM. Specific information about how the backup and recovery process for various Microsoft applications in NMM 9.0 differs from previous NMM releases is provided in applicationspecific user guides. NetWorker disaster recovery provides an automated BMR solution by using the Windows ASR writer and other VSS writers to identify critical volumes that are required to perform a disaster recovery on a disabled system. BMR is performed offline, that is, when the Windows operating system is inactive. This avoids the necessity to manually reinstall Windows, and the problems that occur when operating system files are being restored to an active Windows system. NMM is compatible with the NetWorker client, which provides a true BMR capability for Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server This capability is built into the NetWorker client and provides BMR support to the same or similar hardware. For Windows BMR, you should download the ISO recovery boot image file from EMC Online Support ( The ISO image provides a wizard that allows you to format disks, recover Windows critical volumes from backup, and restart the server to bring it back online. To support a NetWorker Windows BMR recovery, download the Windows BMR image from EMC Online Support ( This download enables you to create a bootable Windows BMR ISO that contains NetWorker binaries and a wizard, which controls the recovery process. The "Windows Bare Metal Recovery to Physical or Virtual Computers" section in the EMC NetWorker Administration Guide provides detailed information about how to use the NetWorker Windows BMR image to perform a BMR recovery on protected hosts and VMware virtual machines. NOTICE For all the Microsoft applications, after performing Windows disaster recovery and restarting the system, check all the disk and volume configurations. Usually, the disks and volumes appear as on the original system. However, it is possible, especially in BMR scenarios, that the volume or disk signatures do not match the original ones, and the non-critical volumes or disks are offline and not mounted. Use the Microsoft Disk Manager to bring the volumes and disks online, and then restart the system for drive letter reassignments. Assign the same drive letters that existed before the BMR. Non-critical volumes that the mount points access might have a similar issue. BMR by using NetWorker and NMM 15
