Copying a configuration

Copy a configuration so that you can do the following:

Restore a client to a state that was saved in a backup before the last backup.
See About restoring to a specific point in time.
Restore a client in which the disks have changed.
See About restoring to dissimilar disks.
Restore a Windows client to a different system.
See Restoring to a dissimilar system.
Restore a client to the same hardware but with different network properties.

A copied configuration that is used for a restore is called a restore configuration.

After you create the restore configuration, modify it so it matches the target hardware properties.

In the NetBackup web UI, click Bare Metal Restore > Hosts > Bare Metal Restore Clients.
