To ensure your Linux systems are fully protected in the event of a disaster, implement bare metal protection as follows:
| 1 | Install the Unitrends Linux agent and add the client to the backup system. See Linux Protection for details. |
| 2 | Run periodic master backups. A valid master backup is required to perform bare metal restore of the client. See To create a backup schedule for details. |
Note: Any backup group using an inclusion list is ineligible for bare metal recovery. Create bare medal media for the full disk. Inclusion lists can then be applied to client aliases. For more information, see Working with client aliases.
| 3 | Use the Unitrends console interface to create a bare metal .iso image. See Creating Linux hot bare metal boot media. |
