Configuring the newly imaged system

Prepare the new system as described here.

To configure the new system

1        Configure a freshly imaged system onto the network with an IP that does not match that of the system to restore.

     For physical systems, follow the procedure Initial configuration of Unitrends systems.

     For UEB systems, follow the procedures in one of the following:

http://www.unitrends.com/documents/unitrendsenterprisebackup-hyperv.pdf

2        Verify that at least 128GB of storage space is available on the newly imaged system and that space on the new system is equal to or greater than that of the system to restore.

If restoring to UEB, you need to add storage to the new system as described in About expanding storage.

3        Configure the following Unitrends system settings as described in Complete the configuration:

     System date and time.

     Hostname – Enter a unique hostname for the new system. Do not use the hostname of the original system. This hostname will be overwritten with that of the original system during the DR process.

     Installation type – Select the installation type that matches that of the system you will restore.

     Expand Storage – Click only if you are restoring to a UEB system and have added storage to the VM. Skip this step if restoring to a physical Recovery-Series system.

     Retention – Select the desired balance retention/backup performance setting.

     You do not need to configure other Setup Wizard items (such as adding clients and users) since these will be set to match the original system during the DR process.

4        Continue to one of the following procedures to restore the system:

     System restore from the replication target

     System restore from archive
