What is Bare Metal Restore?
The term “Bare Metal” refers to a computer that does not contain an operating system. When you purchase a brand new hard drive, it is completely empty, in other words, it is nothing but "bare metal." It does not have any files or even an operating system on it.
When you use the term "Bare Metal Restore," it refers to the process of restoring data to a "bare metal" component, like when you need to replace your hard drive. The most common reasons for replacing a hard drive are because your drive either fails or becomes full and you want to upgrade to a larger drive. Another situation that produces a bare drive is when you reformat your existing drive. Sometimes computers become infected by a virus causing damage that is beyond repair, thus requiring the drive to be reformatted in order to get rid of the virus.
All of the above restoration situations end up with the same results: you have a blank hard drive and you need to restore your files to get back to where you were before you experienced the problem.
