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.

Follow these steps:

1. Access the Restore Wizard in one of the following ways:
   • From Arcserve UDP:
     1. Log in to Arcserve UDP.
     2. Click the resources tab.

        Note: During the installation of Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux), you received the URL to access and manage the server. Log in to Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux).

2. Click Restore from the Wizard menu and select Bare Metal Recovery (BMR).

   The Backup Server page of the Restore Wizard - BMR opens.

3. Provide all the details in the Restore Wizard - BMR and save the wizard.

5. Ensure that you select the Do not recover data automatically after machine is started check box on the Target Machine page of the wizard.
6. Run the BMR job.

The temporary machine is recovered using the BMR, with the instant BMR option enabled. You can use the temporary machine until the actual machine is ready.
