Performing a rollback for a Linux machine by using the command line

A rollback is the process of restoring the volumes on a machine from recovery points. In AppAssure , you
can perform a rollback for volumes on your protected Linux machines using the command-line aamount
utility.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to perform a rollback on the system or root (/) volume.
NOTE: Rollback functionality is supported for your protected Windows machines within the Core
Console. For more information, see
To perform a rollback for a volume on a Linux machine:
1. Run the AppAssure aamount utility as root, for example:
sudo aamount
2. At the AppAssure mount prompt, enter the following command to list the protected machines:
lm
3. When prompted, enter the IP address or host name of your AppAssure Core server.
4. Enter the logon credentials, that is, the username and password, for this server.
A list displays showing the machines that this AppAssure server protects. It lists the agent machines
found by line item number, host/IP address, and an ID number for the machine (for example:
293cc667-44b4-48ab-91d8-44bc74252a4f).
5. To list the currently mounted recovery points for the specified machine, enter the following
command:
lr <machine_line_item_number>
NOTE: You can also enter the machine ID number in this command instead of the line item
number.
A list is displayed that shows the base and incremental recovery points for that machine. This list
includes a line item number, date/timestamp, location of volume, size of recovery point, and an ID
number for the volume that includes a sequence number at the end (for
example, "293cc667-44b4-48ab-91d8-44bc74252a4f:2"), which identifies the recovery point.
6. To select a recovery point for rollback, enter the following command:
r [volume_recovery_point_ID_number] [path]
This command rolls back the volume image specified by the ID from the Core to the specified path.
The path for the rollback is the path for the device file descriptor and is not the directory to which it
is mounted.
