If you use more than one policy to back up a client, use the exact same name for the client in each policy.

BMR can only restore a client using the client that is named in the policy that backed up the system files. If you use multiple policies with a different name in each policy, a client record, and its associated configuration is created for each client name. If you restore a client by a name in a policy that does not back up the system files, the prepare-to-restore operation fails. It fails because BMR can only restore using the client that is named in the policy that backed up the system files.

Therefore, if you use the same name, you do not have to choose between multiple client names during a restore.
