Manually recovering a repository

During disaster recovery, you installed the operating system, downloaded and ran the Recovery Update Utility, completed FTBU, and launched AppAssure to finish the recovery process. However, incomplete breadcrumbs prevent the Remount Volume process from mounting volumes.

To recover a repository manually:

1.Launch Computer Management, then select Storage Management Disk Management.

2.Add a drive letter to the volume labeled DL_REPO_xxxx.

3.Verify the DL_REPO_xxxx volume; note the drive letter, the file path, and ensure that an AppRecoveryCoreConfigurationBackup file exists.

4.From the AppAssure Core Console, select the Configuration tab, then select Restore.

5.In the Enter Local Directory Path text box, enter the drive letter and file path to the repository, and then select the option Restore Repositories.

6.Click Restore.

AppAssure restores the repository, but the repository status is red.

7.Expand the repository information, and copy the metadata path.

8.Open a PowerShell window and type the following command to create the mount point folder: md "<metadata path>"

NOTE: Ensure that you remove the \File_x portion of the metadata path, and enclose the metadata path in quotes.

9.From Computer Management Storage Management Disk Management, add the mount path to the volume.

12.From the AppAssure Core Console Configuration Restore screen, click fix path, and then click Save.

The repository will be back online and display a green status.
