Windows unified bare metal recovery

With Windows unified bare metal recovery (BMR), you can protect a Windows asset’s operating system without running a bare metal backup or creating a custom ISO image. File-level and image-level backups capture the disk metadata necessary for the recovery, and you perform DR using a standard 32-bit or 64-bit ISO image provided on the Unitrends backup appliance. The target for the recovery can be a physical or virtual machine.

When you boot the target machine from the standard ISO, it boots into WinPE (a minimal version of Windows used for installations) and the Windows Unified Bare Metal Recovery (UBMR) wizard launches to guide you through the recovery. Depending on your operating system and hardware, it might be necessary to add drivers during the recovery. You can use the wizard to add any drivers.
