HeadStart Restore

ImageManager HeadStart Restore (HSR) lets you start a restore operation on a new system while the original production server continues to run. ShadowProtect continues adding incremental backup images to the image chain on the original server. This greatly reduces downtime associated with various failover operations, particularly for systems with very large storage systems (ie: multi-Terabyte).

Additional Information

• See Known Issues in the ImageManager Release Notes (ReadMe) for additional information.
• See HeadStart Restore Scenarios to learn about HSR use cases.
• See the following sections in the Install ImageManager chapter - Minimum Requirements, Operating System Support, and Not Supported in the Install ImageManager. Note that HeadStart Restore for Linux Images is not supported.

Important! Don't delete an HSR job while the job is still running. Cancel the HSR job first and then delete it to prevent the ImageManager user interface from becoming unresponsive.
