Table: Proliferation support for UEFI-GPT in BMR

Operating System	Proliferation Support
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x, 8.x	NetBackup BMR supports the GUID Partition Table (GPT) disk types and the Dissimilar Disk Restore (DDR) functionality similar to the BIOS clients. The supported BMR features on UEFI machine are Self-restore, DDR, and Dissimilar System Recovery (DSR). Dissimilar System Restore support is extended to UEFI clients. For details refer the tech note. https://support.cohesity.com/s/article/article-000034868 The newly created Shared Resource Tree can be used to boot BIOS as well as UEFI machines. In addition the VFAT file system is also supported. Note: The support for Linux multi-devices is limited and BMR may not restore the exactly some configurations.
Windows	For UEFI, and Legacy BIOS booted machines, NetBackup BMR supports self-restore, Dissimilar Disk Restore (DDR), and Dissimilar System Recovery (DSR) for both Legacy MBR and GUID Partition Table (GPT) disk types. For UEFI systems and BIOS system having GPT disks, NetBackup BMR doesn't support Direct virtual machine (VM) creation (Physical to Virtual). The newly created Shared Resource Tree can be used to boot BIOS as well as UEFI machines. In addition the FAT32 file system is also supported.
