As a system administrator, you are responsible for ensuring that data on the production (master) servers is replicated and failover triggers when a master server fails. After failover occurs, the designated replica server takes over the operations until the master server can be turned to the production environment. With Bare Metal Restore you can build a similar master server by restoring the operating system, applications, and data from the replica server. To restore the operating system and applications you need a bare metal machine. A bare metal machine refers to a computer without any software.
Note: You can format the failed master server to make it a bare metal machine.
A bare metal restore provides the following benefits:
The following diagram illustrates how to perform a bare metal restore after failover.
