# Getting Started with 1-Touch Recovery for Windows and Linux File Systems

Verify that your environment meets the system requirements to perform 1-Touch recovery for Windows and Linux 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 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.

## Procedure

1. Enable the following entity association for the user or user group that needs to perform VirtualizeMe operations.

   Task | Permission | Associated CommCell Entities
   --- | --- | ---
   1-Touch operations | Administrative management Browse End User Access Out-of-place Recover In Place Recover Install Package/Update Install Client Agent Management Overwrite on Restore Change security settings | Clients and Client Computer Groups where you installed the Windows or Linux File System Agent.

2. Verify that your environment meets the system requirements.

   1. Windows

   2. Linux

3. Install the File System package on the client.

   For Active Directory restores, install the Active Directory package with the File System package on the client computer.

4. 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 \ (Windows) or / (Linux).

   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.

   Perform a system state backup.

5. For interactive 1-Touch recovery,

   - Download the ISO file for 1-Touch.

   - Prepare the client information checklist that contains the information you will need to provide during the recovery process.

6. Perform 1-Touch recovery.

   Note

   If two-factor authentication is enabled for the user performing the restore operation of a Windows client, perform non-interactive 1-Touch recovery.

   1. Non-interactive recovery using 1-Touch for Windows

   2. Non-interactive recovery using 1-Touch for Linux

   3. Interactive recovery using 1-Touch for Windows

   4. Interactive Recovery Using 1-Touch for Linux
