are Metal Recovery is the process of restoring a computer system from
"bare metal" by reinstalling the operating system and software applications,
and then restoring the data and settings. The most common reasons for
performing a bare metal recovery are because your hard drive either fails
or becomes full and you want to upgrade (migrate) to a larger drive or
migrate to newer hardware. Bare metal recovery is possible because during
the block-level backup process, CA ARCserve D2D captures not only the data,
but also all information related to the operating system, installed
applications, configuration settings, necessary drivers, and so on. All
relevant information that is necessary to perform a complete rebuild of the
computer system from "bare metal" is backed up into a series of blocks and
stored on the backup location.

Note: Dynamic disks will be restored at disk level only. If your data is
backed up to a volume on a dynamic disk, you will not be able to restore
this dynamic disk (including all its volumes) during BMR.
