No tapes. &nbsp;We backup to disk only.<br />

I am asking if there is a way with backup exec to restore the whole system, like bare metal restore; instead of individual files.

I need to test a backup/restore for the physical servers. &nbsp;We use the Backup Exec version 12.5<br />
Does Backup Exec has a functionality to do the whole image restore (bare-metal)? or is it files individually only?<br />
<br />
Please advice.

Backup Exec restore for the physical servers

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
