System state recovery requirements for Linux

Software requirements

When creating a session-specific rescue ISO, Backup Manager:

  • Downloads the Cove Rescue Media

  • Bundles it with the system-state archive

  • Rebuilds the ISO

Any required packages are installed by the Backup Manager installer through the system package manager.

If these dependencies are not installed during the Backup Manager installation process, then restore session errors apprise you about the missed dependencies to be installed manually by the system package manager.

To install the necessary dependencies manually, run the following commands in the terminal:

  • Ubuntu & Debian:

    # apt-get install –y squashfs-tools

  • CentOS & RHEL:

    # yum install –y squashfs-tools
