About NetVault Bare Metal Recovery for NetVault Backup Server

NetVault Bare Metal Recovery for NetVault Backup Server is a specially packaged version of NetVault Bare Metal Recovery that provides offline bare metal protection for NetVault Backup Servers running on x86/x86-64-based operating systems that use locally-attached tape-based devices. The bare metal recovery (BMR) image of the NetVault Backup Server is taken by a CD that is preloaded with a NetVault Backup Server, the Plug-in Server, and the drdaemon process. The BMR image can then be transferred to a direct-attached tape-based library or standalone tape drive for recovery in case disaster recovery is needed for the NetVault Backup Server.

NetVault Bare Metal Recovery for NetVault Backup Server:

•
Provides a backup of the server; it does not provide access to network-related functionality such as support for the Manage Clients page and its features.
•
Supports the use of a virtual tape library (VTL) that was created on a Network File System (NFS). For information about creating a Linux-based NFS mount, see your Linux documentation. For information about creating the VTL, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
•
Uses version 7 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, and Quest GigaOS.
•
Does not support shared VTLs (SVTLs) or NetVault SmartDisk®.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: The preloaded NetVault Backup Server uses NetVault Backup v11.2; however, this preloaded version of the NetVault Backup Server can protect and recover NetVault Backup Servers using NetVault Backup v8.2.2 and later.
