12. 1.1 Cristie Bare Machine Recovery overview
Cristie Bare Machine Recovery (CBMR) is a powerful and flexible backup and disaster
recovery software suite. This, integrated with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (ITSM), provides a
Bare Machine Recovery (BMR) solution for all users of Windows 9X, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
The components of CBMR are:
PC-BaX - A backup and recovery module to backup system files
DRM - Disaster Recovery Module that stores machine configuration data and recovers a
crashed system using a minimal Linux operating system
OFM - Open File Module that allows open files to be backed up
Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) support module - Allows back up of TSM client to TSM
servers.
CBMR is a comprehensive Microsoft Windows operating system (OS) backup, restore, and
reinstallation tool. It is a file by file backup of the operating system (not a system image
backup). It back ups and automatically restores the operating system structures necessary to
rebuild the operating system, as well as data files if required.
Figure 1-1 PC-BaX Backup and Recovery Software
1.2 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager overview
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager and its complementary products provide a comprehensive
solution focused on the key data protection activities of backup, archive, recovery, space
management, and disaster planning. Tivoli Storage Manager enables high availability of
business applications by providing superior data protection and unique technology to
significantly improve performance and resource utilization. Additionally, optional application
modules for mail, databases, application servers, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and
2 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Bare Metal Restore for Windows with Cristie BMR
13. hardware provide higher levels of application and hardware integration with the data
protection process.
The base functions provided by IBM Tivoli Storage Manager include:
Backup and Restore: The backup process creates a copy of the file or application data
that can be recovered if the original data is lost or destroyed. Unlike other backup
applications, Tivoli Storage Manager implements a progressive backup methodology to
move data quickly and reliably. Using progressive backup, the number of file versions
maintained by Tivoli Storage Manager and the length of time they are retained can be
specified by the storage administrator. Backups can be scheduled, performed manually
from the Tivoli Storage Manager client interface, or performed remotely using a
Web-based interface. The restore process transfers a backup data copy from the Tivoli
Storage Manager server-managed storage onto a designated machine.
Archive and Retrieval: The archive process creates a copy of a file or a set of files, and
stores it as a unique object for a specified period of time. This function is useful for
maintaining copies of vital records for historical purposes. Like the backup process, the
archive process can be scheduled, performed manually from the Tivoli Storage Manager
client interface, or performed remotely using a Web-based interface. The retrieval process
transfers the archival data copy onto a designated machine.
Instant Archive and Rapid Recovery: IBM Tivoli Storage Manager allows for the creation of
a complete set of client files, called a backup set, on the Tivoli Storage Manager server
system using the most recent backup versions stored by the server. In a process called
Instant Archive, a backup set is used to retain a snapshot of a client file system for a
designated period of time. The Rapid Recovery process allows you to copy backup sets
onto portable media for LAN-free recovery of a client system.
1.3 CBMR with ITSM
The functionality of both products will enable customers to recover the core Windows
operating system to a new disk drive using floppy diskette and a disaster recovery backup
stored in the ITSM Server.
The backup of the operating system comprises the files contained in the Windows operating
system folder together with the TSM client files and the CBMR files. These are backed up as
a few files within the ITSM filespace, and kept up to date either on an ad hoc basis, or by
using the scheduler incorporated within CBMR.
The configuration files contain key static information about the hard disk drive, boot sectors,
and partitions, and this is stored either on a network share or on a floppy diskette (one for
each computer).
The boot files are contained on the supplied bootable CD-ROM, or can be created on floppies
by running a utility in CBMR.
A Bare Machine Recovery is performed by booting from the supplied CD-ROM or created
floppy diskette, and running the CBMR recovery program. This program loads a shell
operating system, the drivers required to access the network, and the ITSM Application
Program Interface (API) client. The Windows operating system is then recovered to the most
recent point in time backup and the system rebooted in Windows mode. The system data is
then restored by ITSM backup/archive client.
Chapter 1. Introduction 3
14. Figure 1-2 CBMR and ITSM combined architecture
1.4 An overview on how Bare Machine Recovery is done
Here are the steps:
1. Boot the system either from CBMR installation CD-ROM or CBMR Disaster Recovery
(DR) floppy diskette into Linux operating system.
2. Load the drivers required to access the network and the ITSM API client with either the
CBMR DR floppy configuration diskette or network share configuration.
3. Perform an Automatic Recovery, which does the following:
– Partitions whole system (does not respect partitions)
– Format – boot and system partition
– Restore – CBMR, Windows and ITSM folders
– Make system bootable – restores 1st sector of master boot record
4. Reboot into Windows mode, with which the DR wizard does the following:
– Formats the data partition to fat16 or fat32
– Converts fat16 and fat32 to NTFS then reboots
5. Restore the system to most recent state using ITSM backup/archive client.

Firewall requirement
If there is a firewall between the file server and the client node where CBMR is running,
port 139 must be open.
CBMR limitations
There are some limitations that we need to take note of. Some or all of these limitations may
be removed in future CBMR releases:
CMBR does not support systems installed on Windows Dynamic Disk volumes.
CBMR and ITSM client both should be installed on the Windows partition.
Automatic ITSM node password reset by ITSM server is not supported.
ITSM API Client version 4.2.1.32 or above is required.
2.2 CBMR/ITSM setup
In our CBMR/ITSM setup, we configure the ITSM Server to use the disk storage pool to store
the CBMR/ITSM client system OS backup. We will back up the client system OS and data to
the ITSM Server using both the ITSM API and ITSM backup/archive client. In the CBMR
network share configuration example, the ITSM Server will export a network share directory,
DR_DIR to the client systems. All CBMR/ITSM client systems will back up the system
information to the network share directory.
The client systems in this example were installed with the following software versions:
ITSM Server
Windows 2000 SP3
ITSM Server version 5.2
Workstation
Windows 2000 SP3
ITSM Client version 5.2
CBMR version 4.0.2

9. Once the ITSM Client installation is complete, we have to configure the environment
variables in the Windows to make it more convenient to use the command line.
10.We need to set the following environment variables in the Windows:
– PATH: This is the default search path the operating system uses to locate executable
files. Set this to include the fully qualified paths of the client installation directories, for
example, SET PATH=%PATH%;C:Program Files Tivoli TSM baclient.
– DSM_CONFIG: Set this environment variable to the fully qualified path and filename of
the client options file, for example, DSM_CONFIG=C:Program Files Tivoli TSM
baclient dsm.opt.
– DSM_DIR: Set this environment variable to the directory where the client message file
dsc*.txt is located, for example, DSM_DIR=C:Program Files Tivoli TSM baclient.
– DSM_LOG: Set this environment variable to the fully qualified path where you want the
error log files to reside, for example, DSM_LOG=C:Program Files Tivoli TSM
baclientlog.

21. 11.Reboot the system. We have completed the ITSM Client installation, we will proceed to the
next section to configure the ITSM Client.
2.3.1 ITSM Client configuration
CBMR backup the Windows operating system (OS) to the ITSM Server through the ITSM API
client. If we are going to use the ITSM backup/archive client to backup the system data, we
need to register two different ITSM clients within the same system, namely the ITSM API
client for the CBMR OS backup, and the ITSM backup/archive client for the system data
backup. CBMR will not work with ITSM using the same ITSM client.
1. Register two new nodes from the ITSM Server Web administration console. The first node
will be the ITSM API client. Ensure the following settings are set for this ITSM API client:
– Archive Delete Allowed YES
– Backup Delete Allowed YES
– Client Compression setting CLIENT
– Force password reset NO
– Node Type CLIENT
Note: At the current CBMR version release, CBMR does not support multiple
versions of backups. In the ITSM policy setting, it is recommended to create one
backup version and a nil deleted version (verexists=1 verdeleted=0) for the ITSM
API clients. To maintain multiple versions of the CBMR backup, create different
CBMR devices targeted with different filespaces.
Chapter 2. CBMR/ITSM installation 11
22. Figure 2-9 Register a new node
Note: In regards to passwords, consider the following:
1. Automatic password generation for the ITSM API client to be use with CBMR is not
supported.
2. If a password expiration period for a CBMR/TSM API client node is used, the password
has to be set in PC_BaX every time it expires.
3. Next, register the ITSM backup/archive client from the ITSM Server Web administration
console. Now, we have both the ITSM backup/archive client and ITSM API client
registered in the ITSM Server.

Figure 2-38 Device.ini file
26 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Bare Metal Restore for Windows with Cristie BMR
37. 2.6 CBMR Disaster Recovery system configuration
CBMR stores the unique system configuration in a file named DISREC.INI. This is an
important file which contains system configuration information such as the number of hard
disks, partitions, Windows system directory, CBMR and ITSM installation directory, etc. There
is another important file named modules.lst which holds SCSI, RAID and network adapter
information. If the system has more than 2 RAID, 2 SCSI or 2 network devices, the
information must be manually updated in this file.
The disaster recovery configuration can be stored either on a Disaster Recovery
Configuration floppy diskette or on a network share. Network share option will be very useful,
if there is a large number of systems running CBMR in your environment.
The disaster recovery configuration needs to be updated after a hardware and/or software
change:
Add or remove disks to the system
Change partition sizes or create new or delete one
Format a partition to a different file system
Reinstall CBMR or ITSM or change the ITSM client/password/filespace information
Change network/SCSI/RAID adapters
We will show how to create the floppy diskette configuration and network share configuration.

58. 4.1 Restoration using three CBMR DR floppy diskettes (boot,
system, configuration)
Before we begin the restoration using three CBMR DR floppy diskettes, we need to create the
CBMR DR boot and system diskettes. Please see Appendix B.1, “Creating CBMR DR Boot
and System diskettes” on page 80 for the creation of both the CBMR DR Boot and system
diskettes.
The device drivers are not copied onto the CBMR floppy configuration diskette during the
creation of the floppy configuration diskette. In order to perform a restoration of the Windows
core (or “boot-up”) OS from the three CBMR DR floppy diskettes, we need to copy all the
necessary drivers from the CBMR CD-ROM to the CBMR floppy configuration diskette.
In this example, we need to copy the Ethernet card driver from the CBMR CD-ROM folder,
E:drconfigmodulese100.o (assuming E is the CD-ROM drive), to the floppy configuration
diskette folder A:modules.
Once the driver is copied onto the CBMR DR floppy configuration diskette, we can perform
the recovery of the client system as follows:
1. Insert the CBMR DR boot floppy diskette. Wait until the prompt appears on the monitor
screen to insert CBMR DR system disk.
2. Insert the CBMR DR system diskette and press Enter. Wait until the prompt appears on
the monitor screen to insert CBMR DR configuration disk.
3. Insert CBMR DR configuration diskette and press Enter. This will load the configuration
information from the configuration diskette, and it will load the PC-BaX Disaster Recovery
Console.

5.3 CBMR/TSM backup script
The backup script used in the ITSM scheduler is placed under C:Program filesCristieCristie
BMRScripts. It is one of the directories being backed up by CBMR DR backup. The backup
script name called by the ITSM scheduler is systembackup.cmd which performs the CBMR
DR backup and backs up the system data using the ITSM backup command.
Figure 5-17 C:Program filesCristieCristie BMRScriptstsmbackup.cmd
We also make use of the ITSM client option file, dsm.opt to exclude some directories from
being backed up by CBMR DR.
