NetBackup™ Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide

Fast recovery with Bare Metal Restore

Veritas Bare Metal Restore (BMR) provides a simplified, automated method by which to recover an entire system (including the operating system and applications). BMR automates the restore process to ensure rapid, error-free recovery. This process requires one Bare Metal Restore command and then a system boot. BMR guarantees integrity and consistency and is supported for both UNIX and Windows systems.

Note:

BMR requires the True image restore option. This option has implications for the size of the NetBackup catalog.

See How to calculate the size of your NetBackup image database.
