Rapid Recovery provides the ability to perform a bare metal restore (BMR) for your Windows or Linux machines. BMR is a process that restores the full software configuration for a specific system. It uses the term “bare metal” because the restore operation recovers not only the data from the server, but also reformats the hard drive and reinstalls the operating system and all software applications. To perform a BMR, you specify a recovery point from a protected machine, and roll back (perform a restore) to the designated physical or virtual machine. If you are performing a restore to a system volume, this is considered a BMR. If you are performing a restore and require a boot CD, this is also considered a BMR. Other circumstances in which you may choose to perform a bare metal restore include hardware upgrade or server replacement In both of these cases, you perform a restore from a recovery point to the upgraded or replaced hardware.
Rapid Recovery supports Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2 operating systems that are booted from FAT32 EFI partitions are available for protection or recovery, as well as Resilient File System (ReFS) volumes.
Performing a BMR is possible for physical or virtual machines. As an added benefit, Rapid Recovery allows you to perform a BMR whether the hardware is similar or dissimilar. Performing a BMR on Rapid Recovery separates the operating system from a specific platform, providing portability.
To perform a BMR on a Windows machine, refer to the topic specific to Windows, including the prerequisites. For more information, see Performing a bare metal restore for Windows machines.
You can also perform a BMR from the Restore Machine Wizard. To do this, start with the procedure About restoring volumes from a recovery point and, when directed in that procedure, proceed to Performing a bare metal restore for Windows machines.
To perform a BMR on a Linux machine, see Performing a bare metal restore for Linux machines. In addition to performing a BMR using the command line local_mount utility, you can now perform a BMR from within the Core Console UI. The roadmap takes both approaches into account.
