System and method for restoring original machines from replicated machines in a secondary computing environment
First Claim
1. A method for restoring an original component from a replicated component, comprising:
- instructing the original component in a first computing environment to boot from a restoration boot disk;
synchronizing at least one original disk of the original component with at least one corresponding replicated disk of a replicated component in a second computing environment different from the first computing environment, wherein the at least one original disk maintains at least an original operating system of the original component, wherein the replicated component is configured to function in place of the original component;
receiving a request to restore the original component; and
instructing the original component to boot from the at least one original disk, upon determination the at least one original disk and the at least one corresponding replicated disk are consistent.

Abstract
A method and system for restoring an original component from a replicated component are provided. The method includes instructing the original component in a first computing environment to boot from a restoration boot disk; synchronizing at least one original disk of the original component with at least one corresponding replicated disk of a replicated component in a second computing environment, wherein the at least one original disk maintains at least an original operating system of the original component, wherein the replicated component is configured to function in place of the original component; receiving a request to restore the original component; and instructing the original component to boot from the at least one original disk, upon determination the at least one original disk and the at least one corresponding replicated disk are consistent.

13. A method for restoring an original component that was running an original operating system to a secondary original component, from a replicated component, comprising:
-
instructing the original component in a first computing environment to boot from a restoration operating system; synchronizing at least one secondary original disk of the secondary original component from a replicated disk of the replicated component in a second computing environment different from the first computing environment, wherein the replicated disk corresponds to at least one original disk of the original component, wherein the replicated component is configured to function in place of the original component; receiving a request to restore the original component; and instructing the secondary original component to boot from the original component, upon determination that the at least one secondary original disk and the corresponding replicated disk are consistent, wherein the at least one original disk maintains at least the original operating system of the original component. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for restoring an original component from a replicated component, comprising:
-
a processing circuitry; and a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to; instruct the original component in a first computing environment to boot from a restoration boot disk; synchronize at least one original disk of the original component with at least one corresponding replicated disk of a replicated component in a second computing environment different from the first computing environment, wherein the at least one original disk maintains at least an original operating system of the original component, wherein the replicated component is configured to function in place of the original component; receive a request to restore the original component; and instruct the original component to boot from the at least one original disk, upon determination the at least one original disk and the at least one corresponding replicated disk are consistent.

-
a processing circuitry; and a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to; instruct the original component in a first computing environment to boot from a restoration operating system; synchronize at least one secondary original disk of the secondary original component from a replicated disk of the replicated component in a second computing environment different from the first computing environment, wherein the replicated disk corresponds to at least one original disk of the original component, wherein the replicated component is configured to function in place of the original component; receive a request to restore the original component; and instruct the secondary original component to boot from the original component, upon determination that the at least one secondary original disk and the corresponding replicated disk are consistent, wherein the at least one original disk maintains at least the original operating system of the original component.
