2.3.5 Recover the System
Overview
The WES Client provides a recovery function which allows you to revert to a backed up system when
encountering a serious problem. You can back up an OS image which is working normally to USB
memory or the PXE server. You can revert to a backed up image when your client has one of these
problems:
z When a system file is deleted accidentally or is corrupted
z When the client computer is unstable or there is a problem with a device driver
z When problems occur, after installing a new program or device
z When the client computer is infected with a virus
z When Windows Embedded Standard fails to start When a system file is deleted accidentally or is
corrupted
How to Recover the System
z Recovery Using USB Memory
By following these steps, you can save all necessary files to USB memory, and boot up with the
backed up system on the USB memory and recover the system.
1 Perform system formatting for your USB memory in order to make it bootable.
2 Save the Windows Embedded Standard image and the Backup/Recovery Utility which will be
recovered later to your USB memory.
3 Boot up with the USB memory.
4 Recover the system using the Windows Embedded Standard image and the Backup/
Recovery Utility in the USB memory.
z Recovery Using Network Booting
This method is provided through the PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) server. The PXE sever
provides a client/server interface based on TCP/IP, DHCP, and TFTP. It allows an administrator at a
remote location to configure and boot the operating system onto a client over a network.
Implement a PXE server.
Save the Windows Embedded Standard image and the Backup/Recovery Utility which will be
recovered later onto the PXE server.
Boot the client via the network.
Recover the system using the Windows Embedded Standard image and the Backup/Recovery
Utility saved on the PXE server via the network.
For more information, refer to the PXE Server User Manual.
