Abstract: Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with automatically building a restore media that stores a restore distribution are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes a data store in which restore distribution building blocks and/or rules concerning those building blocks are stored. The example system may also include a build logic for combining building blocks into a restore distribution based, at least in part, on the rules concerning the building blocks. The example system may also include a media creator configured to store a restore distribution on a computer-readable medium.
