Finish Creating the Recovery Environment

The process on this page is part of Creating the Recovery Environment.

Important: Before following the steps on this page you should first complete the steps on the Creating the Recovery Environment page, also complete the steps on the ADKsetup page and the steps on the ADKwinpesetup page.

When you finish the steps on this page, the creation of the Recovery Environment will be completed.

To finish creating the Recovery Environment:

1. Launch REBuilder again and select the required Output Product Type.
2. 
3. REBuilder Output Type Options:
• Recovery Environment - Will create an ISO for use when restoring ShadowProtect Images.
• IT Edition – For use when updating an IT edition purchased through Arcserve.
• IT Edition 3-Day ISO – For use when creating a temporary IT edition. Requires IT edition Serial Number.
2. Choose the Architecture to be used within the ISO from the dropdown.
3. Select the 32-bit or 64-bit option based on the architecture of the restore-target hardware. In other words, a 64-bit ISO cannot boot on 32-bit hardware. However, a 32-bit ISO can boot on 64-bit hardware.
4. Important! The 32-bit option creates an ISO that boots only in BIOS/legacy mode. The 64-bit option works for both UEFI and BIOS modes.
3. If necessary, the "Additional Recovery Environment Drivers (64-bit only)" section at the bottom of the interface can be used to preload specific drivers into the environment. This includes Network or Storage Controller drivers.
4. Click the icon in the top left of the Recovery Environment Builder dialog to create the Arcserve Recovery Environment for Windows.
5. A process status screen is then displayed.
6. 
5. When the ISO is complete, click OK.
6. 
7. The application will then prompt you to burn the ISO to USB/CD/DVD.
6. Choose the drive letter that represents the removable media in which the ISO is to be written, then click Start.
7. Warning: You will see an important warning (for everything except the IT Edition) that everything on the target will be erased when you build the Recovery Environment. However, if you build this for the IT Edition, you can ignore this warning.
8. 
9. The REBuilder displays the following message when the process is finished.
10. 

You can now use the disc (or insert the USB key) to boot a PC and recover a system volume.

Note: After creating the Recovery Environment, the ADKsetup and ADKwinpesetup are no longer needed. If conserving hard disk space is a priority, you can uninstall them.
