Patent ID: 10761947

Abstract:
Methods and systems for transferring a host image of a first machine to a second machine, such as during disaster recovery or migration, are disclosed. In one example, a first profile of a first machine of a first type, such as a first client machine, is compared to a second profile of a second machine, such as a recovery machine or a second client machine of a second type different from the first type, to which the host image is to be transferred, by a first processing device. The first and second profiles each comprise at least one property of the first type of first machine and the second type of second machine, respectively. At least one property of a host image of the first machine is conformed to at least one corresponding property of the second machine. The conformed host image is provided to the second machine, via a network. The second machine is configured with at least one conformed property of the host image by a second processing device of the second machine.
