Perform a Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) of an Oracle Server

A BMR restores the operating system and software applications, and recovers all the backed-up data. BMR is the process of restoring a computer system from bare metal. Bare metal is a computer without any operating system, drivers, and software applications. After the restore is complete, the target machine automatically reboots in the same operating environment as the backup source node and all data is restored.

You can perform a BMR using the IP address or the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the target machine. If you boot the target machine using the Arcserve Unified Data Protection Agent for Linux Live CD, you can get the IP address of the target machine.
