Perform a BMR to the Temporary Machine

Before you perform a migration BMR, you have to restore data from the source to a temporary machine. To restore the data temporarily, you can perform a BMR to the temporary machine. After the temporary machine is ready to use, you can continue working on the temporary machine.

When the actual machine is ready, you can perform a migration BMR from the temporary machine to the actual machine.

Note: For more information on performing a BMR, see How to Perform a Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) for Linux Machines.
