To perform a rollback for a volume on a Linux machine
1. Run the AppAssure aamount utility as root, for example:
sudo aamount
2. At the AppAssure mount prompt, enter the following command to list the
protected machines.
lm
3. When prompted, enter the IP address or hostname of your AppAssure Core
server.
4. Enter the logon credentials, that is, the user name and password, for this server.
A list displays showing the machines protected by this AppAssure server. It lists the
agent machines found by line item number, host/IP address, and an ID number for
the machine (for example: 293cc667-44b4-48ab-91d8-44bc74252a4f).
5. Enter the following command to list the currently mounted recovery points for
the specified machine:
lr <machine_line_item_number>
NOTE: Note that you can also enter the machine ID number in this command
instead of the line item number.
A list displays that shows the base and incremental recovery points for that machine.
This list includes a line item number, date/timestamp, location of volume, size of
recovery point, and an ID number for the volume that includes a sequence number
at the end (for example,
”293cc667-44b4-48ab-91d8-44bc74252a4f:2”), which identifies the recovery point.
6. Enter the following command to select a recovery point for rollback:
r <volume_recovery_point_ID_number> <path>
This command rolls back the volume image specified by the ID from the Core to the
specified path The path for the rollback is the path for the device file descriptor and
is not the directory to which it is mounted.
NOTE: You can also specify a line number in the command instead of the recovery
point ID number to identify the recovery point. In that case, you would use the agent/
machine line number (from the lm output), followed by the recovery point line
number and volume letter, followed by the path, such as, r
<machine_line_item_number> <recovery_point_line_number> <volume_letter>
<path>. In this command, <path> is the file descriptor for the actual volume.
For example, if the lm output lists three agent machines, and you enter the lr
command for number 2, and you want to rollback the 23 recovery point volume b
to the volume that was mounted to the directory /mnt/data, the command would
be:
r2 23 b /mnt/data
NOTE: It is possible to rollback to /, but only when performing a Bare Metal Restore
while booted with a Live CD. For more information, see “Launching a Bare Metal
Restore for Linux” on page 177.
