NetVault Bare Metal Recovery 12.2 - Release Notes for NetVault Backup Server

Upgrade and compatibility

•
NetVault Bare Metal Recovery for NetVault Backup Server is available as a separate download and 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 image of the NetVault Backup Server is taken by a LiveCD that is preloaded with a NetVault Backup Server, the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Plug-in Server, and the drdaemon process. The Bare Metal Recovery image can then be transferred to a direct-attached tape-based library or standalone tape drive for recovery in case disaster recovery is required.
•
The preloaded NetVault Backup Server uses NetVault Backup 11.4.5. However, this preloaded version of the NetVault Backup Server can protect and recover NetVault Backup Servers and Heterogeneous Clients running NetVault Backup 8.2.2 and later.
