Bare Metal Restore

Restore to Dissimilar Hardware

Bare Metal Restore

Rebuilding a server from the ground up takes a considerable amount of time: install the operating system, patches, applications, backup software then recover the files. Zenith's Bare Metal Recovery makes this time-intensive process a thing of the past. Rebuild a Windows Server in minutes to the same, different or virtual environment using the included Hardware Independent Restore (HIR) technology.

Bare Metal Restore (BMR) gives you the ability to restore to a virtual server or to dissimilar hardware for quick recovery after a disaster; e.g. hardware failure. This gives you flexibility for restorations and doesn't require the cost and eliminates the need for redundant hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions for Bare Metal Restore

  • Q: What is a Bare Metal Restore?
    A: A Bare Metal Restore is a restore of your entire system to new or existing hardware. To restore a system volume, you will need to do so from the Recovery Environment (boot to the recovery CD shipped with your BDR).
  • Q: Do I need to use the exact same hardware to perform a BMR?
    A: No, the restore can be done to identical or dissimilar hardware. We provide the best match drivers, but we recommend having the most up-to-date drivers on hand for your server model.
