What is BMR?
• Machine failure can be caused by physical, mechanical or software issues.
• Bare Machine Recovery (BMR) provides automatic or semi-automatic recovery of operating system and application data.
• Saves hours and even days on system recovery.• A key disaster recovery and migration tool.
NBMR Overview
NBMR is a Bare Machine Recovery solution that allows EMC NetWorker users to recover machines directly from their NetWorker backups.
In the event of a server failure, NBMR will automatically recover the operating system and applications so that no additional backup needs to be performed, and no additional storage or network bandwidth is required.
This means that, unlike other BMR products, no separate backup application needs to be installed, managed and monitored.
NBMR is sold by EMC and leading partners worldwide.
NBMR Key Benefits
Backups are performed by NetWorker, retaining the features and advantages of that software.
NBMR can recover a server operating system in as little as ten minutes and multiple servers can be recovered simultaneously. A whole data centre can be recovered in just a few hours.
NBMR recoveries can be fully automated. Recoveries can be made to similar or dissimilar hardware, and
to virtual and Cloud machines. NBMR allows you to easily achieve your recovery RTOs and
RPOs Provides an exactly identical machine. Restores to any point in time that is available in NetWorker.
