The Collect disaster recovery Information for Bare Metal Restore attribute specifies whether the BMR client agent runs on each client. If the attribute is enabled, the BMR client agent runs before each backup to save the configuration information of the client. The Activity Monitor displays the activity as a job separate from the backup.

Bare Metal Restore is a separately-priced option.

For more information, see the Bare Metal Restore Administrator's Guide for UNIX, Windows, and Linux.

Only policy types MS-Windows (for Windows clients) and Standard (for UNIX clients) support this policy attribute. This attribute is enabled by default when an MS-Windows or Standard policy is created on the master servers that are licensed for BMR.
