The present invention, pertaining to the field of communication, discloses a method for realizing fault
recovery and data
backup, a
system and an apparatus thereof. Wherein, the method comprises the steps of starting a
recovery tool, the
recovery tool loading a customized root
file system, establishing a pre-boot execution environment (PXE) support service, a
file transmission service and a
disk image management service, wherein, the PXE support service and the
file transmission service are used for supporting the device to be recovered to realize the starting of an
operating system through a network, and the
disk image management service is used for performing
disk image backup and / or a recovery operation to the device to be recovered; after receiving an information that the starting of the
operating system through a network by the device to be recovered is successful, remotely
logging in the device to be recovered, and performing disk image
backup and / or a recovery operation to the device to be recovered by the disk image management service. When the device to be recovered is not configured with a CD-ROM, a display and a keyboard, the fault recovery of the device can be realized rapidly by using the method, and also the data backup is realized, therefore,
time cost by the fault recovery of the device to be recovered is greatly shortened.
