Recovery Console interface

The main application window is divided into 2 panes:

1. The "Devices" pane – this is where your devices are listed.


2. The "Audit" pane – this is where you can view restore statistics for the device selected on the "Devices" pane.

At the bottom you can see a toolbar. It provides access to the main functions:

• Add – add a new device to the Recovery Console.


• Configure – edit settings for the selected device.


• Launch BM – open a restore-only Backup Manager for the selected device in a browser.


• Remove – remove the selected device from the Recovery Console.


• Advanced – edit common settings for all devices: enable email notifications on the statuses of recent recovery sessions, change the default local storage directory, set up an Azure Cloud connection (for users who have installed the Recovery Console to the Azure Cloud).

Additional options can be accessed through a context menu.

• Force restore – start data recovery for the selected device right now (without waiting for a new backup session). If there is no data available for recovery, the option will be unavailable.


• Abort – terminate all active recovery sessions related to the device. If there are no such sessions, the option will be unavailable.

Enabling data recovery

To enable data recovery for a backup device, add it to the Recovery Console and specify settings for it.

There are a few points to keep in mind before you get started:

• Devices are added one at a time.


• The number of devices you can add is unlimited, but take into account the available resource on the system running the Recovery Console.


• The devices you add shouldn't be installed in the Backup Manager on the current computer (this would result in a conflict).


• You can add only those devices that you have access to (full access details are required).

Here are steps to follow.

1. Click Add. Enter access details for the device (device name, password and security key).

2. Select the data sources that you want to enable recovery for (you'll be able to edit the list later if needed). The list may contain up to 5 data sources (the selection depends on the product settings).


3. Configure settings for the first data source. Click Next to proceed to the next one or click OK to finish and apply the settings (if all of the selected data sources have been configured).

4. If all of the settings have been configured, you will get a message offering you to start data recovery. Click Yes to enable the continuous recovery mode or click No if you don't want to start the recovery right now.

After that you will find the device on the "Devices" pane. Use the Active checkbox next to its name to enable and disable continuous data recovery for it.

Note that the Recovery Console needs to be open or minimized to keep functioning. If there are active devices, please don't shut down the Recovery Console application and don't power off the computer.
