Recovery and Update Utility
The Recovery and Update Utility (RUU) is an all-in-one installer to recover and update DL Appliances (DL1000, DL1300, DL4000 and
DL4300) software. It includes the Rapid Recovery Core software and appliance-specific components.
RUU consists of updated versions of the Windows Server Roles and Features, .Net 4.5.2, LSI Provider, DL Applications,
OpenManage Server Administrator and Rapid Recovery Core Software. In addition, the Recovery and Update Utility also updates
the Rapid Appliance Self Recovery (RASR) content.
NOTE: If you are currently using any of the AppAssure Core versions, Rapid Recovery Core version 6.0.2.144 or earlier,
RUU forces an update to the most recent version available in the Payload. It is not possible to skip the update and this
update is not revertible. If you do not want to upgrade the Core software, do not run the RUU.
To install the most recent version of the RUU:
1. Go to the License Portal under the Downloads section or go to support.dell.com and download the RUU installer.
2. To start the RUU process, run launchRUU.exe file in the RUU package.
NOTE: Your system may reboot during the RUU update process.

Rapid Appliance Self Recovery (RASR) is a bare metal restore process that quickly restores your Appliance to an operating state.
RASR offers two recovery options:
• Restore factory settings
• Recover your appliance to a state just before failure (OS, configurations, and settings are recovered)
