Getting Started with 1-Touch Recovery for Windows and UNIX File Systems

Verify that your environment meets the system requirements to perform 1-Touch recovery for Windows and UNIX file systems with Commvault Cloud, and then complete necessary setup in the Commvault Cloud software.

Before You Begin

  • If your network has firewall topology configured, then create a server group with the network settings required for 1-Touch operations. For more information, see Network Connectivity.

  • If filters are added to the subclient configuration and they filter out operating system components, then the restored machine may encounter operating system issues.

  • 1-Touch is not enabled by default for Linux clients based on the PPC architecture. Use the The Relax-and-Recover (ReaR) tool, which is integrated with the Commvault Cloud software. For more information, see Bare Metal Recovery for PPC Architecture Using 1-Touch for UNIX.

  • You cannot perform 1-Touch recovery of synthetic full backups on Linux subclients.
