VerifiedData Recovery Strategies

Mia’s office computer was completely destroyed in a fire that burned down her apartment. The laptop was essential for her to continue carrying out her work responsibilities because it contained significant client data and records of her interactions with them.

As a policy, the IT department had made frequent backups of her laptop for situations like this. The IT department obtained an identical laptop with no OS or software installed. Using backups from the old laptop, they restored the new laptop to the old laptop’s last known state. The entire process was automated, so it was completed quickly with little room for error.

Which data-recovery method did the IT team use?

Explanation

Bare Metal Recovery restores a complete backed-up system onto a computer with no operating system or applications installed. It can recover the OS, software, configuration, and user data to recreate the previous machine state on replacement hardware.
