Tip. Using the bootable media, you can do off-line ("cold") backups in the same way as in the
operating system.
Create backup plan (p. 34)
Create a backup plan if you need a long-term backup strategy including backup schemes,
schedules and conditions, timely deleting of backups, or moving them to different locations.
Step 5. Recovery
Recover (p. 95)
To recover data, you need to select the backed-up data and the destination the data will be
recovered to. As a result, a recovery task will be created.
Recovery of a disk or volume over a volume locked by the operating system requires a reboot.
After the recovery is completed, the recovered operating system goes online automatically.
If the machine fails to boot or if you need to recover a system to bare metal, boot the
machine using the bootable media and configure the recovery operation in the same way as
the recovery task.
Step 6. Management
The Navigation pane (at the left part of the console) enables you to navigate across the product
views that are used for different administering purposes.

Use the Backup plans and tasks view to manage backup plans and tasks: run, edit, stop and
delete plans and tasks, view their states and progress.

Use the Alerts view to rapidly identify and solve the problems.

Use the Log view to browse the operations log.

The location where you store backup archives is called a vault (p. 210). Navigate to the
Vaults (p. 127) view to obtain information about your vaults. Navigate further to the specific
vault to view backups and their contents. You can also select the data to recover and perform
manual operations with backups (mounting, validating, deleting).
2.1 Using the management console
As soon as the console starts, the respective items appear across the console's workspace (in the
menu, in the main area with the Welcome screen, or in the Navigation pane) enabling you to
perform machine-specific operations.
