Restore image from btrfs

Restore
1

On Saturday I will be attempting a test restore of a server to our secondary environment. I have been reading on how to restore using the urbackuprestoreclient (https://urbackup.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/US/pages/2981890/How+to+restore+via+command+line) but it talks about VHD’s. We’re not using VHD’s though.

Here’s the files we have from a given server. There are underlying disks this is a windows 2016 instance under VMWare. Given that I’m going to create a new blank VM with the same drive layout, what commands would I run to restore this back to 100%. I will be booting via ubuntu live usb.

Is it just as replacing the .VHD from the samples with .raw’s? The documentation could really use a couple samples on this.

Why don’t you want to use UrBackup Restore CD? It’s very simple to restore image bacup to new PC.

Is there any actual documentation on this on the restore CD? The screen shots are not super useful. I haven’t been able to find any for the CD.

I think currently not. Will be changed…

The raw files are just … raw image files. The only thing to be aware of is that the partitions are at half MB offset (1024*512). So

dd if=Image_C_200801-1737.raw of=/dev/sda2 bs=$((1024*512)) skip=1

restores them via command line.

losetup -f -r --show --direct-io=on --offset=$((1024*512)) Image_C_200801-1737.raw

gives you a block device that you could use e.g. partclone or ntfsclone on to clone to another block device to restore (e.g. ntfsclone --overwrite /dev/sda2 /dev/loop1).
