How to Perform a Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) for Linux Machines in Azure Cloud

A BMR restores the operating system and software applications, and recovers all the backed-up data. 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.

A complete BMR is possible because when you back up data, the backup also captures information related to the operating system, installed applications, drivers, and so on.

You can perform a BMR using the IP address of the target Linux virtual machine in Microsoft Azure. The process to perform a BMR for Linux Instances in Azure Cloud is slightly different that the process with Linux machines in the local.

Complete the following tasks to perform a BMR:

• Review the BMR Prerequisites
• Create a New Machine on Microsoft Azure as BMR target
• Review the Backup Server Virtual Machine
• Specify the Recovery Points
• Specify the Target Virtual Machine Details
• Specify the Advanced Settings
• Create and Run the Restore Job
• Verify that the Target Instance is Restored
