When you perform disaster recovery of a client with aliases, it’s important to restore them in a particular order.
Note: When you are backing up an aliased client, you must decide whether to include or exclude the system state. You MUST include the system state on the client that contains the operating system volumes (this is typically the C: volume). For all other client aliases that do not include the OS volume, you should NOT include the system state. Only one client alias can include the system state. The bare metal recovery fails if the system state is not included in the OS volume and if the system state is included in the client aliases that do not include the OS volume. For more information, see Working with client aliases.
1 First, restore the client that contains the operating system and other critical volumes. You MUST do this before you restore any additional aliased clients. Follow the applicable procedure listed in Bare metal procedures by client operating system for details.
2 Next, restore each aliased client. Follow the applicable procedure listed in Bare metal procedures by client operating system for details.
