About Bare Metal Recovery
Bare Metal Recovery is a separate software product that can create a backup image of a whole
disk or partition. A disk image backup includes a backup of operating systems, applications and
configuration files, software updates, personal settings and other data.
One of the destinations for the image file can be an FTP server. The SonicWALL CDP
appliance provides this capability by hosting SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery .tib files.
