Bare Metal Restore (BMR)
• Recover everything, even entire PCs from scratch, or recover only what you need
• So easy to do recovery that anyone can do it
While other vendors often highlight how fast or powerful their backup solutions are, we on the other hand prefer to stress that recovery is in fact more important. In doing so, one must take into account two key considerations:
Make sure it is as easy to use as possible
In this regard, the DataSaver client software is very easy to install and configure, having only two settings, other
than any schedule you may or may not have. Furthermore, the recovery process attempts to auto-detect all your NIC and
SCSI drivers, tries to automatically connect to the network and so on and so forth, so that users are not inundated
with too many questions or too many details to remember. In order to achieve this simplicity, the software was
designed from the ground up to be no-nonsense, simple, and very to the point in regards to its purpose.

Make sure that everything is recovered to its original state and nothing is left out so that you can get back
to doing useful things with your time as fast as possible
By creating Recovery Points that contain
everything in the client, we ensure that situations like "Damn, I forgot to back-up that particular folder!" will
never happen. In addition, by having complete images of everything in the client, we are able to perform from
Bare Metal Restore. This means that even clients whose operating systems have crashed can still be recovered
with minimum fuss. Also, all your favourite desktop settings, file ACLs, registry settings, drivers, etc will all be
recovered, just the way you previously set it up to be.
