NAME
rear - bare metal disaster recovery and system migration tool
SYNOPSIS
rear [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-dsSv] [-D|--debugscripts SET] [-c DIR] [-C CONFIG] [-r KERNEL] [--] COMMAND [ARGS...]
DESCRIPTION
Relax-and-Recover is the leading Open Source disaster recovery solution. It is a modular framework with many ready-to-go workflows for common situations.
Relax-and-Recover produces a bootable image. This image can repartition the system. Once that is done it initiates a restore from backup. Restores to different hardware are
possible. Relax-and-Recover can therefore be used as a migration tool as well.
Currently Relax-and-Recover supports various boot media (incl. ISO, PXE, OBDR tape, USB or eSATA storage), a variety of network protocols (incl. sftp, ftp, http, nfs, cifs) for
storage and backup as well as a multitude of backup strategies (incl. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, HP DataProtector, Symantec NetBackup, EMC NetWorker, FDR/Upstream, NovaBACKUP
DC, Bareos, Bacula, rsync, rbme, Borg). This results in a bootable image that is capable of booting via PXE, DVD/CD, bootable tape or virtual provisioning.
Relax-and-Recover was designed to be easy to set up, requires no maintenance and is there to assist when disaster strikes. Its setup-and-forget nature removes any excuses for not
having a disaster recovery solution implemented.
Recovering from disaster is made very straight-forward by a 2-step recovery process so that it can be executed by operational teams when required. When used interactively (e.g.
when used for migrating systems), menus help make decisions to restore to a new (hardware) environment.
Extending Relax-and-Recover is made possible by its modular framework. Consistent logging and optionally extended output help understand the concepts behind Relax-and-Recover and
help debug during development.

Start by cloning the Relax-and-Recover sources from GitHub: git clone https://github.com/rear/rear.git Move into the rear/ directory: cd rear/ Prepare your USB media. Change /dev/sdb to the correct device in your situation. Relax-and-Recover will ‘own’ the device in this example. This will destroy all data on that device. sudo usr/sbin/rear format /dev/sdb Relax-and-recover asks you to confirm that you want to format the device: Yes The device has been labeled REAR-000 by the ‘format’ workflow. Now edit the ‘etc/rear/local.conf’ configuration file: cat > etc/rear/local.conf <
