SEP Bare Metal Recovery - 1 Linux Server

The SEP Bare Metal Recovery for Linux License allows users to create a bootable image file of a physical Linux server, which includes all the configurations, partitions, drivers and settings. Users can boot the image file on physical or virtual servers and follow the steps in the wizard to restore the entire server and data.

SEP Bare Metal Recovery consists of two proven components - SEP backup software and SUSE Linux Enterprise using SUSE Studio. Using SEP backup concepts, the overall management and storage of data takes place on the SEP backup server, where all data required in the event of a disaster and recovery are stored.

SEP uses a snapshot backup of the data from the SEP BSR clients via the network to the SEP backup server. The repository for the data can be freely selected using disk to disk (D2D) or disk to disk to tape (D2D2T) strategies.

After a system disaster or drive failure, the SEP BSR media is inserted into the new server. The BSR media is booted and Linux is preinstalled. The computer is then connected to the network to establish a connection with the SEP backup server. The required saveset for the data recovery is selected and the automated recovery begins with the partitioning of the backup media.

In this step, not only is the filesystem created, but also the different disk drive configurations, i.e. multiple partitions, multiple disk drives, expanded partitions, etc. The boot system partitions are then formatted and once completed, the partitions are restored onto the new hardware, which is now boot ready. The newly created operating system is then rebooted and the server with all its settings and data is accessible to the user community within the network.

Linux Disaster Recovery CD based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11; for automatic recovery of 1 SEP Linux Backup Client (any Linux operating system) or of the SEP Linux Backup Server.

Includes updates for 12 months.
