2. Do any of the following:
 Burn a CD/DVD using the ISO file.
 Create a bootable USB flash drive by using the ISO file and one of the free tools available
online.
Use ISO to USB or RUFUS if you need to boot an UEFI machine, Win32DiskImager for a
BIOS machine. In Linux, using the dd utility makes sense.
 Connect the ISO file as a CD/DVD drive to the virtual machine that you want to recover.

1.8.3 Recovering a machine
1.8.3.1 Physical machine
This section describes recovery of physical machines by using the backup service web interface.
Use bootable media instead of the web interface if you need to recover:
 OS X
 Any operating system to bare metal or to an offline machine
Recovery of an operating system requires a reboot. You can choose whether to restart the machine
automatically or assign it the Interaction required status. The recovered operating system goes
online automatically.
To recover a physical machine
1. Select the backed-up machine.
2. Click Recovery.
3. Select a recovery point. Note that recovery points are filtered by location.
If the machine is offline, the recovery points are not displayed.
 If the backup is located in the cloud storage, click Select machine, select a target machine
that is online, and then select a recovery point.
 Otherwise, recover the machine as described in "Recovering disks by using bootable media"
(p. 22).
4. Click Recover machine.
The software automatically maps the disks from the backup to the target disks.
 If the disk mapping fails, recover the machine as described in "Recovering disks by using
bootable media" (p. 22). The media enables you to choose disks for recovery and to map the
disks manually.
 If the disk mapping succeeds, click Recover.
5. Confirm that you want to overwrite the disks with their backed-up versions. Choose whether to
restart the machine automatically.
