Review each of the topics to get started with 1-Touch Recovery.
Step 1: System Requirements and License Requirements
Refer to the following information to learn more about the capabilities and requirements of 1-Touch for Windows :
Step 2: Install the Windows File System Agent
To perform 1-Touch Recovery, you must install the Windows File System Agent on the client computer. During the installation, the File System and File System Core packages are selected.
Important
If you only install the File System Core package or the Laptop package, you cannot perform system state backups that are essential to perform 1-Touch Recovery.
Review each of the following topics to get started with the installation:
-
Plan the Installation on Windows Computers
Review general guidelines to prepare for the installation, which include configurations that your computer might need before the installation.
-
Preinstallation Checklist for the Windows File System Agent
Review agent-specific guidelines to prepare for the installation, such as gathering the information that you must provide during the installation.
-
Select the installation method that is most appropriate for your environment.
Step 3: Ports Required for 1-Touch Recovery
Use the 8403 port to perform 1-Touch Recovery because of the following reasons:
-
To avoid conflict with existing client computers that use the same IP or DNS name in the CommCell environment
-
When you have a firewall configured between the client computers.
Note
Make sure that the ports are available before you start performing 1-Touch recovery.
For more information, see Port Requirements for Commvault.
Step 4: Review User Permissions
The user must have appropriate permissions to perform 1-Touch recovery. For more information on the required permissions, see User Security Permissions and Permitted Actions by Feature.
Step 5: Perform a System State Backup
Perform a system state backup of your 1-Touch client computer. For more information, see Configuring System State Backups for the Windows File System Agent.
Review the following considerations when you perform the system state backup:
-
When you perform a backup of a Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 client, ensure that you enable the Administrator's account.
You cannot perform the 1-Touch recovery of a client computer if the administrator's account is not enabled while performing the backup.
-
Do not filter system state components, files or directories that are required to turn on the computer.
-
Do not filter temporary files. If temporary files are filtered, you will not be able to log in to the restored computer.
-
Do not attach more than 100 disks to the client computer. If the client computer has more than 100 disks attached, the 1-Touch system state backup fails with the following error:
Note
