FLR mounts a checkpoint and copies files out. The protected VM stays up.
|
||||
Official API: `POST /v1/flrs` then browse/download. This MCP writes the file
|
||||
to `recovery_dir` on the MCP host. Putting it back on the guest is a second
|
||||
to `recovery_dir` on the MCP host.
|
||||
|
||||
**FLR runs at the VPG's recovery site**, because that is where the mount is
|
||||
created. A VPG replicating to a cloud ZCA must be recovered through that ZCA's
|
||||
API, not the protected ZVM's. A production server would hold credentials for
|
||||
every ZVM/ZCA in the estate and route the call; this one does not, so
|
||||
`zerto_recover_file` is gated to **locally replicated VPGs** (protected site ==
|
||||
recovery site) and refuses anything else while naming the site that owns the
|
||||
operation.
|
||||
|
||||
Paths are rooted at partitions, and Linux and Windows are not symmetrical:
|
||||
|
||||
| | guest path | FLR path |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Linux | `/home/j/app.yaml` | `Volume2-Ext4%2fhome%2fj%2fapp.yaml` |
|
||||
| Windows | `C:\Users\j\app.conf` | `C%3a%2fUsers%2fj%2fapp.conf` |
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows the drive letter **is** the partition name, so nothing is
|
||||
prepended. Browse form-encodes: `%2f` separator, `%3a` drive colon, and a
|
||||
space as `+` (`Program+Files`). A session reports mounted before volume
|
||||
enumeration settles, so the partition list must be polled until it stops
|
||||
changing -- an early read can show a restorable NTFS disk as
|
||||
`Volume4-Unknown`. Putting it back on the guest is a second
|
||||
step (scp/ssh). That copy-back is not Zerto; it is ordinary file transfer.
