Boot single client

To boot a single VM or DR Image client

  1. Click Boot on the toolbar or in the context menu of a client.

    The Boot Wizard starts.

  2. Select a recovery point from the list of available points.

    This step shows only if the client has multiple recovery points.

  3. Set the boot settings, if needed.

    Note

    See details about the boot settings for DR image and VM backups.

  4. Click Boot to boot the client.

    The client will boot only if it does not exceed the number of simultaneously booted VMs.

Boot group of clients

To boot a group of clients, click Boot Entire Group on the toolbar or in the context menu of a client, and then confirm booting.

Note

If the number of VMs in the booted group exceeds the number of simultaneously booted VMs, none of them will boot.

If the name of a VM in the booted group is identical to the name of an already booted VM, the new VM will have an incremental number added to its name.
