Collect disaster recovery information for Bare Metal Restore (policy attribute)

The Collect disaster recovery Information for Bare Metal Restore attribute specifies whether the BMR client agent runs on each client. If the attribute is enabled, the BMR client agent runs before each backup to save the configuration information of the client. The Activity Monitor displays the activity as a job separate from the backup.

Only policy types MS-Windows (for Windows clients) and Standard (for UNIX clients) support this policy attribute. This attribute is enabled by default when one of these policy types is used to create a policy on a master server that is licensed for BMR.

For more information, see the Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide.
