How CBMR works

Learn more about Cristie Standalone System Recovery - CBMR

CBMR is a simple, yet powerful, backup software solution that creates a backup of your entire system as well as the data files and databases that you specify. The backup can be held on a network share, a tape device, a library, a standalone NAS or using Spectrum Protect.

The software will also provide quick recovery of the operating system in the event of system failure or human error. The recovered machine can be on dissimilar hardware or on a virtual or cloud machine.

CBMR also provides the ability to clone to a new machine from an existing backup. The cloning option allows the hostname and/or the IP address to be changed during the recovery.

CBMR allows you to backup data on your system to any backup location attached to your computer or network, including FTP (Windows only), tape, VMware, Hyper-V, plus AWS and OCI public clouds. You can then examine the content of the backup and restore any desired files or directories.
