How to Perform a Migration BMR for Linux Machines

A migration BMR is a two part process where the data is first restored to a temporary machine and then to the actual machine. A BMR with instant BMR option enabled lets you recover data to a temporary machine. You can use the temporary machine until the actual machine is ready. When you have the actual machine, a migration BMR lets you migrate data from the temporary machine to the actual machine. When performing a migration BMR, any data that you create on the temporary machine gets migrated to the actual machine.

Note: You can perform Migration BMR with an agent-based backup only. An agentlesss backup does not support Migration BMR.

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 UDP Agent (Linux) Live CD, you can get the IP address of the target machine.

Note: Machine can boot up. Only one NIC is configured.
