How to Perform Oracle Linux Bare Metal Restore/P2P Migration with Vinchin Backup & Recovery?

Bare metal restore (BMR) lets you recover an entire Oracle Linux server—including its operating system, applications, settings, and data—onto new hardware. This process is vital for Oracle Linux servers when facing hardware failure, severe software issues, or disaster recovery needs. With BMR, your restored server will boot and run just like the original.

Vinchin’s bare metal restore also supports P2P (physical-to-physical) migration for Oracle Linux servers. This means you can move a fully configured Oracle Linux system from one physical machine to another with matching hardware. Whether you are recovering from downtime or upgrading to new equipment, Vinchin makes it easy to get your Oracle Linux server back online quickly and reliably.
