Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

To clone a Windows BMR backup, ensure that you clone all of the critical volumes, DISASTER_RECOVERY:\, and WINDOWS ROLES AND FEATURES save sets that were created during the backup operation. While you can clone individual save sets, you cannot perform a successful BMR recovery unless you recover each save set that the backup operation created.

To ensure that you clone all of the BMR save sets, review the following information before you start a clone operation:

• When you use the automatic clone, you enable the Clone attribute on the group resource that contains the BMR client. The automatic clone operation will clone all of the required save sets after the scheduled backup operation completes.
  NOTE:Synchronize the NetWorker server and client host clocks before the backup operation to ensure that all of the save sets are cloned.
• When you use the nsrclone command to perform a manual clone, ensure that you include the ssid/cloneid for each save set. Use the mminfo or nsrinfo -v command to report all save set backups that occurred for the Windows client during the save session. The Command Reference Guide provides detailed information about using the mminfo and nsrinfo commands.
• When you use the schedule clone function, do not filter on other attributes such as save set name. Filter only by client name. When you enable automatic cloning for a backup group that contains the DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ save set, synchronize the clocks on the NetWorker server and client host clocks across the network to ensure that NetWorker clones all save sets.
