r meaning RESTORE, -cc meaning confirmation comment I mean if VEEAM endpoint software was script driven (I don't think it is) on boot a simple syntax like c://veeamendpoint.exe -r d://baremetal.img -cc "You will lose all data please confirm restore Y" I think if the EMERGENCY VEEAM USBKEY WIZARD makes assumptions of being just a bare metal restore option not much could go wrong. The problem is that although the software runs and I have manually copied the previous backup on to the USBKEY I still have to define SOURCE and DESTINATION.Īnother problem is that the software is buggy and very unintuitive making it very easy to screw up.

I do have a 64G USBKEY that autoboots with another companies image based restore software already. When you say "I'm not sure its not possible", I am probably naive but wonder why? Laptops have factory restore partitions but it would be nice to have a "Custom Updated Factory File" eliminating the need for 48hrs and 3G of updates after restore. Veeam would set simply parameters in autoboot that just requires a "Y" to start. It creates an autoboot key and places the backup on the key also. Have Veeam backup a boot partition and give the user a option to create a bare metal restore key. My family has 2 PC's and 2 Laptops so having a "factory restore partition" auto restore in emergencies would be great.Ī VEEAM function in the application to make a "CRASH KEY" from a 64/128G thumbdrive.

Having it autoboot and start the restore function with a simple "Y" would be sweet. (That's why I'm here).īasically have your boot partition backed up and saved on a Veeam bootable thumb drive for disaster restore. I have a 64G bootable rescue thumb drive with ACR%^&*S but the software is too buggy now. Can't you simply just format the 64G or 128G with FAT32EX.
