Adaptable System Recovery (ASR) for Linux virtual machines

The need for Bare-Metal recovery

Published March 2014

Imagine that your company will need to recover from a total system failure with the loss of all data, the operating system, applications, settings, and patches. Many systems administrators are under the false impression that a simple reinstall of the operating system or re-­provision from a template will be good enough since their enterprise backup products are backing up the data. Recovering from a catastrophic failure is a complex operation that takes anywhere from hours to weeks.
