This task is a step in Performing a bare metal restore for Windows machines. It is part of the process for Using the Universal Recovery Console for a BMR.
If performing a BMR for a Linux machine from the Core Console, then this task is also a step in Performing a bare metal restore for Linux machines It is part of the process for Launching a bare metal restore for a Linux machine using the command line.

Rapid Recovery attempts to automatically map volumes. If you accept the default mapping, then the disk on the destination machine is cleaned and re-partitioned and any previously existing data is deleted. The alignment is performed in the order the volumes are listed in the recovery point, and the volumes are allocated to the disks appropriately according to size, and so on. Assuming there is enough space on the target drive, no partitioning is required when using automatic disk alignment. A disk can be used by multiple volumes. If you manually map the drives, note that you cannot use the same disk twice.
For manual mapping, you must have the new machine correctly formatted already before restoring it. The destination machine must have a separate partition for each volume in the recovery point, including the system reserved volume. For more information, see Using the Universal Recovery Console for a BMR.
Complete the procedure for one of the following disk-mapping options:
CAUTION: While Rapid Recovery supports FAT32 and ReFS partitions, at present, only full restore and BMR are supported as a driver limitation exists with ReFS, so restore is implemented in user mode, VM export, and so on. If a Core is protecting at least one agent volume that contains the ReFS file system, it should be installed on Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2012 R2 machines, which provide native support of ReFS. Otherwise, functionality is limited and operations that involve such things as mounting a volume image do not work. The Rapid Recovery Core Console presents applicable error messages in these occurrences. |
CAUTION: Bare metal restore of Storage Spaces disks configuration (a feature of Windows 8.1) is not supported. For details, see the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide. |
