# Workstations & servers
#### Use cases for workstations and servers show typical scenarios that help you choose the right backup settings for each device type.
***
## Selecting devices to back them up during the backup plan creation process
During backup plan creation, in the **Devices** section, **select the appropriate option**. Decide whether you want to back up all devices added to your **Management Service**, specific devices, or a previously created device group.
***
## Restoring image-level backup from a physical device to a VM
First, restore the image-level backup as a file (you can find the instructions in [this article](https://helpcenter.xopero.com/xopero-one-en/backup-and-recovery/workstations-and-servers/image-level-backup-recovery)). When the **image-level backup** is restored successfully, you can start importing it to the selected virtualization environment. During the virtual machine creation process, **select the restored file as the virtual disk**.
***
## Restoring a VM to a physical device
The first step to restore a virtual machine to a physical host is to install the **Xopero ONE agent** on the VM and **perform an image-level backup, treating the machine as a physical device**.\
When the backup is created successfully, you can start the **BMR** restore process.
***
## Turning off the device after successfully finished backup
To shut down the device after a successfully completed backup, configure the appropriate **post-backup script** during the backup plan creation process.
