NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide

Limitations and considerations

  • If the user does not select the Restore with original IP and hostname option, the backup of the source virtual machine may be restored with a different IP and hostname. As a result, the restored client will adopt a new identity and will not be configured under any policy.

  • The user must configure the restored client in the required policies to ensure protection and backups.
