Bare Metal Recovery

With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can recover an entire computer system to “bare metal” on the same hardware using configured bootable media. This way, you can easily restore an entire system to a different computer in the event of a disaster. Bare-metal recovery is done in the following stages:

1. A backup of the source physical machine is created and saved in a supported Backup Repository.

2. Bootable media is created in one of the following ways:

   • Bootable media is created and uploaded to the target physical machine using the Bootable Media Wizard.

   • Bootable media is created manually using the .iso file downloaded from the Bootable Media Wizard.

3. The bootable media is copied onto a flash drive.

4. The target physical machine is booted using the flash drive containing the bootable media.
