Restoring a Cyber Recovery virtual appliance deployment after a disaster

Return your system to the state that it was in after the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance deployment. Then, use the crsetup.sh setup script with the recover option to perform a disaster recovery.

Prerequisites

Before you perform this procedure:

  • Have a Cyber Recovery backup tar package that was created before the disaster. Otherwise, you cannot complete this procedure.
  • Delete the Cyber Recovery installation directory.
  • If necessary, clean up existing Docker containers before you begin this procedure. See Cleaning up existing Cyber Recovery Docker containers.

About this task

For information about how to install the Cyber Recovery software, see the Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery Installation Guide.

Steps

  1. Redeploy the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance.
    You can either:
    • Download and deploy the version of the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance that you want to run.
    • Deploy the version of the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance that is currently in the Cyber Recovery vault. If necessary, update to a later version.
  2. Start the Cyber Recovery software restore procedure:
    1. Run the crsetup.sh setup script:
      crsetup.sh --recover
    2. Type y to continue:
       Do you want to continue [y/n]:
    3. Type y to confirm and continue:
      Are you REALLY sure you want to continue [y/n]:
    4. Type the full path to the Cyber Recovery backup tar package location, for example:
      /tmp/cr_backups/cr.19.2.1.0-3.2019-09-19.08_02_09.tar.gz
    The Cyber Recovery restore operation proceeds and then returns a success message when it completes:
    19.02.19 08_45_20 :
    19.02.19 08_45_20 : Cyber Recovery has been successfully recovered onto this system
    19.02.19 08_45_20 :
  3. Log in to the Cyber Recovery UI or the CRCLI and validate that the previous installation has been restored.
