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

Bare metal restore (BMR) lets you recover a full Red Hat Enterprise Linux server—operating system, apps, settings, and data—to new hardware or a blank machine. This process is vital for disaster recovery when your original server fails due to hardware issues or severe software problems. With BMR, you can bring your Red Hat Enterprise Linux server back online quickly and with minimal hassle.

Besides disaster recovery, Vinchin’s bare metal restore also supports P2P (physical-to-physical) migration. This means you can move your entire Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment from one physical server to another with matching hardware. Whether you need to recover from downtime or upgrade to new machines, Vinchin makes it easy to get your Red Hat Enterprise Linux server running again fast and reliably.
