How it works

TBMR allows you to perform a complete bare machine recovery of your system direct from a Spectrum Protect backup. It also provides recovery assurance as the software can be scheduled to run through a complete recovery process.This fully automates the creation of the recovered machine and then runs test scripts to verify integrity and functionality. Schedules can be setup months in advance and planned, so that the entire server infrastructure is tested over the course of the desired time frame.

The recovery machines are held in an isolated network and can be released after every simulation so storage is not permanently required. Detailed reporting highlights any problems encountered and provides an audit track of successful results. Perform a recovery by following this simple process:

1. Install TBMR on the client system to be protected.
2. License the software, using a trial or full license. The software will then gather configuration parameters, including details about the hard disks, operating system, storage controller, network adapter and network settings. Some of these details can be tailored.
3. Perform standard Spectrum Protect backup.
4. Boot recovery environment on the target system and monitor the automated restore process.
