You can create a BMR type backup of your system using a Windows Agent (version 6.4 or greater), and save it securely on your local vault (version 6.03 or greater). SaaS customers use a remote vault, rather than local vaults.

The Agent will check for an EVault System Restore license during the backup operation. If you have created a BMR type backup job, but have not purchased the appropriate license, the job will fail when it attempts to perform the corresponding backup operation. Note: You cannot run BMR type restores from CentralControl. You must use the ESR application for this.

9.4.1 Steps for Creating a BMR Type Backup Job

You can create a job using Web CentralControl or Windows CentralControl. This section describes how to create a BMR type backup job through Web CentralControl.

1. Open Web CentralControl, and select an online Agent.

Figure 28.- Create a New Job

Figure 29.- Choose Local System

3. Type a unique Job Name, select Local System for the Backup Source Type, and then click Next. The Selection screen for data will appear.

Figure 30.- Select Bare Metal Restore

4. In the Data Files pane, select Bare Metal Restore, and click Include.

When you select Bare Metal Restore, you will back up all volumes that contain system data. System data helps to ensure a fully recoverable system at restore time.

Click Next to continue.

5. The Options screen will appear. If you wish, you can choose to encrypt your data. You can also click Advanced Backup Options to specify additional settings. Click Next to continue.

Figure 31.- Optional: Specify Encryption and Advanced Options

6. The Schedule screen will appear. Create a schedule if you wish, and then click Next.

7. The Destination screen will appear. Select or create a vault destination for your job.

8. Click Save Changes to finish creating your job.

After you have created your job, you will return to the main CentralControl page, and your job will appear in the Jobs section (lower pane of the page).

9.4.1.1 Running Your Job

To run your job, select it, and then click Run Backup. Alternatively, your job can run according to a schedule that you provide.

Note: When you run a BMR type backup, make sure that VSS is enabled.

9.4.2 Creating BMR Inclusions and Exclusions

BMR type backup jobs create backups at volume levels, rather than file or folder levels. There may be instances, however, in which you need to exclude certain files from your backup.

The following steps show you how to include and exclude data from your backup. Note: If it is determined during the backup operation that your exclusions could interfere with your ability to restore the system in case of disaster, your exclusions will be

overridden. Check the log files to determine whether or not your exclusions have been overridden.

1. Select Bare Metal Restore, along with some regular (non-system) files. Click Include to add them to the Backup Set.

2. To exclude specific data, open the tree, select the data, and click Exclude. This example shows how to exclude a folder called Application Data.

Figure 36.- Excluding a File or Directory

3. Click Save Changes to confirm your exclusion. Recursively means that you will exclude all directories within the one you have specified.

9.4.3 Upgrading an Existing Job to a BMR Type Job

CentralControl will allow you to upgrade an existing “Local System” job to a BMR type job without having to reseed. When you select Bare Metal Restore, the following selections will become grayed out and unavailable:

• System State • System Files • RSM Database • Event Logs

Upgrading your job to a BMR type backup will not cause reseeding, and it will not alter existing data selections. It will identify all volumes that need to be backed up to help ensure a recoverable system at restore time.
