Recovering a Windows System to Bare Metal
“Bare metal” recovery allows you to restore a complete Microsoft Windows system, including data,
settings, applications, and operating system, onto a new computer on which nothing is installed.
The Barracuda Backup Service supports bare metal recovery for the following operating systems:
• Windows Server 2008 R2
• Windows 2008 Server
• Windows SBS 2011
• Windows Vista
• Windows 7
All system volumes and system state must be backed up in order for bare metal recovery to be
possible.
The bare metal recovery process overwrites any existing data on the system to which the data is being
restored. As a result, bare metal recovery is only recommended in situations where there are no other
recovery options available.
For instructions on performing a bare metal recovery of a Windows server, refer to the Barracuda
Networks Knowledgebase Solution “How can I restore / recover my Windows system to bare metal
using the Barracuda Backup Service?” at
