Normally, BMR restores from the most recent backup. In a point in time restore, BMR can restore the system to a state earlier than the last full backup.
To restore the system to a previous point in time, you select the point in time for the restore when you create a restore configuration.
A point in time restore is useful when a recent software change has rendered the system unusable. Bare Metal Restore can restore the system to a previous known working state.
Use the point in time restore feature in the following scenarios:
A hardware change has destabilized the system. There may be cases in which the software that is associated with the hardware cannot be removed completely. Instead of removing all the associated drivers and software, point in time restore can recover the system to a known working state.
A software addition has destabilized the system. Rather than uninstalling the software, which may not return the system to its state before the software was installed, point in time restore can recover the system.
