Copying a configuration

Copy a configuration so that you can do the following:

Restore a client to a state that was saved in a backup before the last backup.
See About restoring to a specific point in time.
Restore a client in which the disks have changed.
See About restoring to dissimilar disks.
Restore a Windows client to a different system.
See Restoring to a dissimilar system.
Restore a client to the same hardware but with different network properties.

A copied configuration that is used for a restore is called a restore configuration.

After you create the restore configuration, modify it so it matches the target hardware properties.

To copy a configuration

In the NetBackup web UI, click Bare Metal Restore > Hosts > Bare Metal Restore Clients.
In the All Bare Metal Restore Clients tree pane, expand the view of the client that contains the configuration you want to copy.
Right-click the configuration you want to copy.
On the shortcut menu, select New.
On the New Configuration for Bare Metal Restore Client dialog box, complete the fields.
Click OK.
If necessary, modify the configuration.
