Restoring Windows PC Computers (Bare Metal Restore)
This feature restores a Windows PC connected to your WD Sentinel server. Should
your computer experience an unfavorable event such as a hard drive crash, the
Recovery feature reinstalls the operating system, software applications, and all the
data. This type of recovery is known as a bare-metal restore; it recovers everything
that was on the computer when it was backed up.
Important: You may need some network drivers. Save them to a USB flash
drive.
