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). 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.

To shut down the device after a successfully completed backup, configure the appropriate post-backup script during the backup plan creation process.
