Bare Metal Restore Limitations
When you perform a failback to restore a protected node to dissimilar hardware-physical or virtual, Windows might require reactivation.
BMRs that are performed to the same or new hardware require that you upload specific drivers for any disk, network adapter, and any other hardware.
After an incremental failback to a non‑Xen PN (physical PN, ESX PN, Virtual PC PN), users are required to reinstall drivers.
For a Windows 2012 server, a REF’s partition/volume will be restored as standard NTFS.
For a Windows 2012 server, if you choose to restore a volume with deduplication enabled, the data will be restored to its full size. Simply enable deduplication after the BMR completes.
See the dynamic disk limitation outlined in Agent‑less PN Enrollment Limitations.
When adding each volume in the disk configuration interface, you might need to wait a short period of time while the volumes are being created.
There is a maximum allowed duration of 72 hours for a restore to complete. Exceeding 72 hours might result in a reboot of QUARK and a loss of the restored image to that point.
