To perform a cold bare metal backup

1        Insert the client-specific cold bare metal boot disk into the client and reboot. When the client reboots, boot from disk.

2        Depending on the settings you chose when creating your boot media, a backup may begin right away. To initiate a backup, select Backup from the menu. The backup is queued.

3        Monitor the status of the backup from Tasks > Real Time Task Monitor or from the Unitrends interface.

4        When the backup completes, remove the boot disk and reboot your client into its operating system.
