Note that network configuration selection is determined by MAC address so network settings may not be configured automatically if agent hardware has changed. Appropriate network settings are selected when an agent boot the Rescue Environment from the Rescue Media. Network settings for all agents are stored in Generic Rescue Media. Such rescue media will be appropriate for use on agents with common hardware configuration. These media will not include any extra drivers but users can manually specify drivers to be included in Rescue Media for a given Windows PE configuration (see below). Site Manager can also create Generic Rescue Media which does not target any single agent. Note that network settings must be configured manually within the Rescue Environment if the agent is restored to different hardware as network configurations are associated with a MAC address. An up-to-date set of agent drivers are stored on a database on the Site Manager so that Agent Rescue Media can be created for failed agents at the time of need.Īgent network configurations are also stored in the Rescue Media so that the backup repository can be easily accessed through the Rescue Environment.
These devices can then be used in the Rescue Environment even if they are not supported in Windows PE by default. Agent Rescue Media will be based off the right version of Windows PE for the target agent and contain copies of hardware drivers for devices which the agent detects as being unsupported by Windows PE. Site Manager can create Rescue Media which is custom built for a particular agent to minimise the manual configuration required to restore it. See Restoring an Image Through Macrium Reflect for further information. Agent Rescue Media includes driver and network information from the agent it should be used for computers with static network settings or hardware not supported by Windows PE.įor advanced needs, use a copy of Reflect on a managed computer or the Site Manager server to create Rescue Media manually. Generic Rescue Media only contain the Macrium Rescue Environment and will be compatible with most machines with dynamic network settings. Site Manager can create generic Rescue Media or Rescue Media which is targeted for a managed computer. Site Manager can create Rescue Media which can be downloaded through the Site Manager interface giving users easy access to a centralized source of Rescue Media to recover failed agents. Such computers are unable to run the Site Manager Agent consequently, they can not be restored remotely. This is a lightweight version of Windows (the Windows Preinstallation Environment or Windows PE) customised to include Reflect so users can manually recover computers which cannot boot Windows normally. Rescue Media are live discs or USB sticks from which computers can boot directly into the Macrium Rescue Environment.
