Using Plug-in Offline Client to recover data to a standby NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client

With this process, the new target machine must have a similar hardware configuration to that of the originally backed-up machine, regarding the NIC and SCSI cards used. If the hardware in use differs too much from the original, driver software conflicts may occur, resulting in a failed restore.
Values entered in the Restore Name field are case-sensitive. Ensure that the exact NetVault Backup name of the machine to be relocated to is entered in this field; otherwise, the restore fails.
Relocations of this type must be restored to the same partition they were backed up from. For example, if a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery backup was taken of a system’s “C:\” partition on a Windows®-based system, the restore must be performed to the relocation target’s “C:\” partition as well. You cannot restore to a different partition.
If you are restoring a 64-bit Linux Client that uses the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) with Plug-in Offline Client for Linux®, add the applicable entry in the UEFI/EFI boot manager the first time that you boot the standby client after the restore. To do so, during the boot process, press Esc, select Boot Maintenance Manager > Configure boot options > Add boot, add HD(1, GPT, <partitionGUID>, <partitionOffset>,<partitionSize>)/EFI/<LinuxDistribution>/grub(64).efi, and commit the changes.
