SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery Server Edition Install Window

For SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery Server Edition Typical, Custom and Complete

installation is available. Having pressed Custom, you can choose to install, besides the

main component, Rescue Media Builder and Bart PE plug-in for SonicWALL Bare

Metal Recovery Server Edition.

With Rescue Media Builder you can create bootable rescue disks or RIS packages (see

details in

Chapter 8. Creating bootable media

). Installing the Bootable Rescue Media

Builder will allow you to create bootable media, its ISO image or a bootable RIS package

at any time from the main program window or running Bootable Rescue Media

Builder on its own.

The widely used Bart PE utility provides a Windows-like operating environment invoked

via removable bootable media. Applications are installed into Bart PE in the form of plug-

ins. Choosing Bart PE plug-in installation (disabled by default) provides the ability to

include SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery Server Edition into a Bart PE plug-in tab. The

plug-in files will be placed into the component installation folder along with other program

files.

When installed, SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery Server Edition creates a new device in

the Device Manager list (Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device

Manager -> SonicWALL Devices -> SonicWALL BareMetalRecovery Backup

Archive Explorer). Do not disable or uninstall this device, as it is necessary for

connecting image backups as virtual disks (see
