2.9.2 Creating bootable media

Bootable media is a CD, DVD, USB flash drive, or other removable media that enables you to run the

agent without the help of an operating system. The main purpose of bootable media is to recover an

operating system that cannot start.

We highly recommend that you create and test a bootable media as soon as you start using disk-level

backup. Also, it is a good practice to re-create the media after each major update of the backup

agent.

You can recover either Windows or Linux by using the same media. To recover OS X, create a

separate media on a machine running OS X.

To create bootable media in Windows or Linux

1. Download the bootable media ISO file. To download the file, select a machine, and then click

Recover > More ways to recover... > Download ISO image.

2. Do any of the following:

 Burn a CD/DVD using the ISO file.
