# Getting Started with VirtualizeMe for Windows and UNIX File Systems

Verify that your environment meets the system requirements to perform VirtualizeMe 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.

- If filters are added to the subclient configuration and they filter out operating system components, then the restored machine may encounter operating system issues.

- You cannot perform VirtualizeMe operations on 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
   --- | --- | ---
   Perform a VirtualizeMe operation | Administrative management Browse End User Access Out-of-place Recover In Place Recover Install Package/Update or Install Client Agent Management Overwrite on Restore Change security settings Note: To perform job operations such as kill, suspend, or resume, the user must have Job Management capabilities at the CommCell level, as VirtualizeMe (vME) jobs are treated as administrative-level operations. | Clients and Client Computer Groups where you installed the Windows or Linux File System Agent.

2. Verify that your computer meets the system requirements.

   1. Windows

   2. UNIX/Linux

3. Install the File System package on your 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. Create a provisioning target.

   The following VMs are supported as recovery destinations:

   - Amazon Web Services (Only for Windows)

   - Azure or Azure Stack Hub (Only for Windows)

   - Hyper-V

   - VMware

6. Download the ISO file for 1-Touch. Copy the downloaded ISO file on to your provisioning target.

7. Restore data using VirtualizeMe.
