About Bare Metal Restore (BMR)
NetBackup Bare Metal Restore (BMR) is the server recovery option of NetBackup. BMR automates and streamlines the server recovery process so you do not have to reinstall the operating systems or configure the hardware manually. BMR restores the operating system, the system configuration, and all the system files and the data files with the following steps.
For complete information on BMR, refer to the NetBackup Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide.
In the NetBackup web UI, you can perform the following BMR operations:
View and manage the clients that are backed up for VM conversion.
Convert BMR-enabled backups to a virtual machine using the Virtual Machine Conversion wizard.
Create point-in-time restore configurations.
View and manage VM conversion tasks.
View and manage the BMR clients and configurations.
Run pre-restore operations on the client configuration and the VM conversion client's configurations. For example, prepare-to-restore, prepare-to-discover, and dissimilar disk restore operations.
View and manage boot servers.
View and manage resources like shared resource trees, discovered configurations, and Windows device driver packages.
