Hello,

I backed up a windows 10 Physical client.

I am triying to make a full bare metal restore.

I am using the live CD.

I have this error message.

backup system state is checked on the subclient

any advice please ?

 

The version of Commvault I use is 11.24.34

the 1 touch lice CD is 1Touch_REL11_24_56_WinPE5_1_x64.iso

 

Thank you !

Good afternoon.  Can you tell me if you selected the option to backup the System State components?

This usually happens when 1-touch components have been filtered out of the system state backup - particularly Offline Files

Please check your global filters and see if any system state components are filtered out

Check that none of these are listed:

Hello, very strange behavior.

I have changed from Legacy BIOS to UEFI on the client and restarted.

Just for information I am using Rufus to build bootable USB

I also tried to used a response file. 

 

Now it works fine, after the restore is finished, I have this message and I need to add Mass Storage drivers. Do you know how to do this.

The goal is to replace Acronis solution by Commvault.

 

 

 

Thanks !

What is the make and model of the system you are trying to restore?

It means that the 1-touch bootable ISO does not contain drivers that recognize the storage device.

You need to contact the manufacturer or look on their download site for the drivers - then place those on a USB drive inserted into the machine or a network share and select them.

Here is the relevant documentation:https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/18911_adding_drivers_during_bare_metal_recovery_using_1_touch_for_windows_cross_hardware_restore_01.html

You can also create a customer ISO that includes the required drivers so that it wont ask during recovery. Steps to do that here:

Is baremetal supported for a laptop client? to be more specific, a client that is configured as laptop and it shows under the laptop entity in Command Center. I dont seem to find that information.
