Note: On Unitrends 7.4 and later systems, critical data used for Unitrends DR is included in regular file-level backups. You can perform integrated bare metal recovery without running bare metal backups. See Windows Hot Bare Metal Protection for details.
Hot bare metal backups can be scheduled for Windows systems in the same manner as file-level backups. Selection lists are not supported. Backup options can be applied to designate the disk device, specify whether a catalog list is created, and to run pre- and post-backup commands. Other options do not apply.
Hot bare metal backups should not be performed until the boot media has been created and tested successfully on each server where bare metal backups will be performed. See the Windows Hot Bare Metal Protection chapter for details.
