Options for performing a bare-metal restore

\\
{info:title=Note}To use this method, you need a special "boot" server running the services required for PXE Environment to work - DHCP and TFTP, as well as NFS service. Having this "boot" server and Server Backup, you will be able to carry out a hands-free, fully automated Disaster Recovery and re-deployment system. For servers which provide remote access to the server console, it can be done via [IP-KVM solutions|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch]. This method does not require physical access to the server.
{info}Each of the listed options has two sub-options:
\\
* *Booting into Agent environment -* To use this option, you need a running Backup Manager installed on a machine different from one to which you are going to restore.
* *Booting into Server environment* \- This option allows to restore the current machine from a Disk Safe located on a network drive or on the secondary physical disk. When you boot from Live CD *Server* or PXE Network Boot *Server*, then a full-fledged Backup Manager runs. In the Backup Manager Web Interface you will be able to add the Disk Safe to restore from.

Choose the option that fits your specific needs.
