Automated Disaster Recovery System and Method
First Claim
1. A method of recovering a host image of a client machine to a recovery machine, comprising:
- comparing, by at least one first processing device, a first profile of a client machine of a first type to be recovered to a second profile of a recovery machine of a second type to which the client machine is to be recovered, the first type of client machine being different from the second type of recovery machine, wherein the first and second profiles each comprise at least one property of the first type of client machine and the second type of recovery machine, respectively;
conforming at least one property of a host image of the client machine to at least one corresponding property of the recovery machine based, at least in part, on the comparison, by the first processing device, wherein the host image includes an operating system;
providing the conformed host image to the recovery machine, via a network; and
configuring the recovery machine with at least one conformed property of the host image by a second processing device of the recovery machine, wherein the second processing device is different from the first processing device.

Abstract
Methods and systems for recovering a host image of a client machine to a recovery machine comprise comparing a profile of a client machine of a first type to be recovered to a profile of a recovery machine of a second type different from the first type, to which the client machine is to be recovered, by a first processing device. The first and second profiles each comprise at least one property of the first type of client machine and the second type of recovery machine, respectively. At least one property of a host image of the client machine is conformed to at least one corresponding property of the recovery machine. The conformed host image is provided to the recovery machine, via a network. The recovery machine is configured with at least one conformed property of the host image by a second processing device of the recovery machine.

24. A system for recovering a host image of a client machine to a recovery machine, comprising:
-
at least one first processing device; at least one recovery machine, each recovery machine comprising a respective second processing device different from the at least one first processing device; storage associated with the at least one first processing device to store first respective profiles for a first plurality of types of client machines including a first type of client machine, and second profiles for a second respective plurality of types of recovery machines including a second type of recovery machine different from the first type of client machine, the profiles comprising at least one property of each of the plurality of types of client machines and each of the plurality of types of recovery machines, respectively; wherein the at least one first processing device is configured to; compare a first profile of a client machine of the first type to be recovered to a second profile of a recovery machine of the second type to which the host image is to be recovered; conform at least one property of a host image of the client machine to at least one corresponding property of the recovery machine based, at least in part on the comparison; and cause transfer of the conformed host image to the recovery machine, via a network; and wherein the second processing device is configured to configure the recovery machine with at least one conformed property of the host image. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
