Bare Metal Restore

We are glad to announce that our developers have almost finished their work on a new feature of bare metal restore. Bare metal restore is the most convenient type of disaster recovery that lets you restore your data to a lifeless "bare metal" system.

About Bare Metal Restore

The problem with common disk imaging is that it can't be applied to the drive running active operating system. However, it is possible to create "cold" image of a system located on an external drive. The new functionality will create a new, fully operational operating system on a medium of your choice (CD disc, USB flash or other), let you boot from it and create a complete image backup of your HDD. And then, should a disaster happen to your system, you can boot from this medium again and restore the data to a bare-metal system, without having to re-install the OS and software.

Bare metal restore is not limited to safeguarding data from loss. It can also be used for hard disk cloning which in its turn is the easiest way to set up multiple identical workstations.
