Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

Modifying a configuration

Modify a configuration so you can do the following:

  • Restore a client to a state that was saved in a backup before the last backup.

  • 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 different network properties.

  • Restore a client by skipping intended non-OS data volumes or disks.

  • Make client SAN bootable by mapping its OS volumes onto SAN LUNs.

You cannot modify the configuration named current; you must create a configuration you can edit.

To modify a configuration

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, click Bare Metal Restore Management > Hosts > Bare Metal Restore > Clients.
  2. In the All Bare Metal Restore Clients pane, expand the view of the client that contains the configuration you want to modify.
  3. Right-click the configuration you want to modify.
  4. On the shortcut menu, select Change.
  5. In the Change Configuration dialog box, modify properties as needed.

    See Client configuration properties.
