What is the recovery tool?


What is the recovery tool?



The 1&1 recovery tool enables you to choose the boot mode of the server and the ability to perform a hard reboot.

To access the recovery tool. Log into the 1&1 Control Panel -> 'Server administration' -> 'Recovery-Tool'.



What boot possibilities are available?


The form gives you the choice between two boot modes:

1) Normal system

Your system boots from the internal hard disc.

2) Rescue system

Your system boots from a rescue system that has been set up just for you without addressing the internal hard disc. You can access this system via your IP with the password created while going through the process of booting the server into rescue.
The hardware reset is carried out by choosing the corresponding button.

Important information
Please only use the hardware reset when you are unable to reboot your system any other way. The hardware reset may cause you to lose data, e.g. when accessing data on the hard disc, so always reboot from the command line if at all possible. If you can reboot the server from plesk or ssh then do not check the reboot now option. Change the boot mode and then reboot from command line.
