Creating a restore configuration for DDR
Table: To create a restore configuration is an overview of the process to create an editable restore configuration and perform disk mapping before you begin the restore.
In case of Windows client recovery, you do not have to create a DDR configuration before you begin the restore. You can begin a restore and perform disk mapping during the restore itself. BMR windows recovery opens disk mapping GUI automatically in case it fails to map original disks to the disks available during recovery time. While in case of UNIX/Linux client case, if disks matching fails then recovery process goes into target hardware discovery mode.
