Cove Re-Directed Restores

To restore data to a different target than the source server, it is necessary to use the Recovery Console and the destination of the restoration can be the server running the Recovery Console.

To install the Recovery Console, please download from:

https://cdn.cloudbackup.management/maxdownloads/mxb-rc-windows-x86.exe 

https://cdn.cloudbackup.management/maxdownloads/mxb-rc-windows-x64.exe 

To create a restore job, follow the steps below:

1. Open the Recovery Console from the Desktop icon. 
2. Click on the Add button to add a new device to restore from.
3. On the next step you’ll be asked to add the Device Name, Password and Security code from the machine you want to restore.
   1. Login to the Cloud Management Console at https://backup.management. 
   2. Go to the Dashboard.
   3. Click on the server you need.
   4. Then go to the Modification tab. 
   5. There you’ll find the Device Name and Password.

   2. The Security code is the encryption passphrase that was entered for the Backup Manager installation. This information is not stored by Hexistor or Cove support and cannot be recovered.
