You can customize the minimal set of files that must be restored to an endpoint so that it can reboot to the CVD and work online. The Minimal Restore set generally includes the organization VPN, antivirus, firewall applications, and driver store.
About this task
Minimal restore sets can be static or dynamic.
Minimal Restore Set Type |
Description |
|---|---|
Static Minimal Restore Set |
A static list of files created by the administrator and placed in an XML file that is fetched during the restore operation. The files restored provide the endpoint with the minimum environment required to boot to a CVD. The static list is used for all endpoint devices in the system. |
Dynamic Minimal Restore Set |
This is a CVD-specific list of files that is acquired during normal CVD use. The list is built on each boot and captures the system, applications, and user files over a short time period after booting. A separate dynamic restore set is created for each CVD in the system and is used in conjunction with the static minimal restore set when a restore is performed. |
The procedure describes how to customize the minimal set.
The procedure describes how to modify critical Mirage configurations using the CLI. Follow these steps carefully, as serious problems can occur if the CLI is used incorrectly.
