 +===== Summary =====
 +----
 +After restoring the backed up Windows System image from the backup destination,​ you can use the restored data to recover your server. ​
 +
 +For server platforms such as Server 2008 / 2008 R2 / 2012 / 2012 R2, you can recover individual files, folders, volumes, application,​ application data, operating system, or full-system (bare-metal) with the following tools: ​
 +
 +^ __Tool__ ^ __What you can recover__ ^
 +^ Recovery wizard (in Windows Server Backup) | Files, folders, volumes, application,​ and application data. |
 +^ Windows setup disc / Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) | Operating system (critical volume), and full server recovery (all volumes). |
 +
 +<WRAP info>You can also perform the above tasks using wbadmin command. ​ For the syntax of the command, refer to the following: [[http://​go.microsoft.com/​fwlink/?​LinkId=140216]] </​WRAP>​
 +
 +To determine what can be recovered from your restored system image, enter the following command in an elevated command prompt:
 +<​code>​
 +wbadmin get versions
 +[-backupTarget:​{<​BackupTargetLocation>​ | <​NetworkSharePath>​}]
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Example (system image restored to G: volume):
 +<​code>​
 +C:​\Users\Administrator>​wbadmin get versions -backupTarget:​g:​
 +wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
 +(C) Copyright 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
 +
 +Backup time: 1/29/2019 10:29 AM
 +Backup target: 1394/USB Disk labeled Temp1(E:)
 +Version identifier: 01/​29/​2019-02:​29
 +Can recover: Volume(s), File(s), Application(s),​ Bare Metal Recovery, System State
 +Snapshot ID: {f8cf57da-0c9d-453c-adbb-5f9a976c75c2}
 +</​code>​
 +
 +For non-server platforms such as Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10, you can recover the full-system (bare-metal) with the following tools: ​
 +^ Tool ^ What you can recover ^
 +^ Advanced startup option (in safe mode) | Full system recovery. | 
 +^ Advanced startup option (Windows installation media) | Full system recovery. | 
 +
 +<WRAP info>You can also perform the above tasks using wbadmin command. ​ For the syntax of the command, refer to the following: [[http://​go.microsoft.com/​fwlink/?​LinkId=140216]] </​WRAP>​

 +
 +  * Click Advanced, and install the required driver for the removable drive to be accessed, if the system image was copied to a removable drive attached to the server. \\ \\ To install a driver, the driver must be located on the local system. You cannot install a driver from the network.
 +
 +  * Click Advanced, and browse to the remote shared folder which contains the system image, if the system image was copied to a network path. \\ \\ For domain environment,​ if the backup storage location is on a computer that is a member of that domain, then the computer containing the storage location should be on the IPsec boundary, to be accessible by non-domain computer. \\ \\ When a computer boots into Windows Recovery Environment,​ it becomes a non-domain computer, therefore, cannot access the usual network shares. ​ Only those computers that allow non-domain computers to access the share can be used as a backup storage location in this way.

 +Select the Only restore system drives check box (not displayed in screenshot) to perform an operating system only recovery (instead of a full system recovery).
 +
 +Click Install drivers to install device drivers for the hardware that you are recovering to.  \\ {{public:​module:​windows_system:​cloudbacko_module_winsys_109.png?​640}}
 + 
 +Click Advanced to specify whether the computer is automatically restarted, and the disks are checked for errors immediately after the recovery. ​ \\ {{public:​module:​windows_system:​cloudbacko_module_winsys_110.png?​640}}
 + 
 +9. Confirm the details for the restoration,​ and then click Finish to start the recovery process. ​  \\ {{public:​module:​windows_system:​cloudbacko_module_winsys_111.png?​640}}
