Verify that your environment meets the system requirements to perform 1-Touch recovery for Windows and UNIX file systems with Commvault, and then complete necessary setup in the Commvault software.
Before You Begin
-
If your network has firewall topology configured, then create a server group with the network settings required for 1-Touch operations. For more information, see Network Topology.
-
Your backup must contain all files required to turn on the computer and run applications. Do not filter out any OS directories or application files.
If filters are added to the subclient configuration and they filter out operating system components, then the restored machine may encounter operating system issues.
-
For Linux clients based on the PPC architecture, use the The Relax-and-Recover (ReaR) tool, which is integrated with the Commvault software. For more information, see Bare Metal Recovery for PPC Architecture Using 1-Touch for UNIX.
-
You cannot perform 1-Touch recovery of synthetic full backups on Linux subclients.

Verify that system state backup or 1-Touch recovery is enabled for the default Windows or Linux subclients respectively and that the subclient backup content is defined as All or /.
To exclude contents, use global or subclient filters.
In case system state backup or 1-Touch recovery is currently disabled for your default subclient, see Configuring System State and 1-Touch Backups for Subclients.
