Using recovery images
This section provides topics about using recovery images.
About the recovery image process
An image of the K2 Solo 3G system system drive is provided with the product package. You can
restore the K2 Solo 3G system from this image. This simplifies the process of rebuilding a system
in a disaster recovery scenario.
NOTE: This process is not intended as a means to backup and restore media.
When you receive your K2 Solo 3G system new from the factory, you receive a system-specific
image for that particular K2 Solo 3G system. This factory image is stored on a bootable USB
Recovery Flash Drive. Also on the Recovery Flash Drive is the Acronis True Image software
necessary to create and restore an image. You can find the Recovery Flash Drive in a holder in the
front bezel assembly.
After your K2 Solo 3G system is installed, configured, and running in your system environment,
you should create a new recovery image to capture settings changed from default. This “first birthday”
image is the baseline recovery image for the K2 Solo 3G system in its life in your facility. There is
enough space on the Recovery Flash Drive to store the first birthday image along with the factory
image.
You should likewise create a new recovery image after completing any process that changes system
software or data, such as a software upgrade. In this way you retain the ability to restore your K2
Solo 3G system to a recent “last known good” state.
You can also use the recovery image process on the control point PC.
NOTE: The recovery image process is an “off-line” process. Do not attempt this process while
media access is underway.
The recovery image process that you should follow is summarized in the following steps.
• At the K2 Solo 3G system first birthday…
Boot from the Recovery Flash Drive.
Create a recovery image for the K2 Solo 3G system.
Create a recovery image for the Control Point PC.
• At milestones, such as software upgrades…
Boot from the Recovery Flash Drive.
Create a recovery image for the K2 Solo 3G system.
