PBMR is a vital addition to any Dell PowerProtect installation providing all the necessary files to rebuild a system to its identical state preceding any disaster scenario.

When combined with the Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery Vault, PMBR provides the highest levels of protection and integrity for a company’s most valuable system configurations.

Introducing Cristie Software PBMR System Recovery for Dell PowerProtect Data Manager

Without this addition, physical system recovery becomes a labour-intensive process as applications and configuration files need to be rebuilt manually.

Adding PBMR allows customers to leverage the resiliency of the Cyber Recovery Vault solution to protect and restore their vital systems, including all necessary configuration information. Systems can be restored directly from the vault to dissimilar hardware, or to alternative virtual or cloud recovery targets.
