Restoring Images from PXE
Restoring Images from PXE
This is a manual to boot the restore CD from your network (PXE).
Prerequisites:
- PXELinux (See http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX )
- TFTP Server (See "TFTP servers" section in http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX e.g. http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html for Windows) or HTTP server
- Downloaded UrBackup Live Restore ISO image
Steps:
- Setup a TFTP server with appropriate DHCP server (see above PXELinux manual)
- Unzip the UrBackup-Live-Restore ISO in a directory called urbackup (using e.g. 7zip)
- Edit your pxelinux.cfg/default file as below (replace the ip address of the server) :
LABEL UrBackup Restore kernel urbackup/live/vmlinuz append initrd=urbackup/live/initrd.img boot=live config username=urbackup toram noswap fetch=tftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/urbackup/live/filesystem.squashfs
With UrBackup Restore 1.1.1 you can also use hostnames and load the filesystem from a HTTP server:
LABEL UrBackup Restore kernel urbackup/live/vmlinuz append initrd=urbackup/live/initrd.img boot=live config username=urbackup toram noswap fetch=http://SERVERNAME/urbackup/live/filesystem.squashfs
Boot your client via PXE and the restore should run.
