Hello everyone,

I'm considering implementing BMR for the first time as I just found it's free! 
(shame on me).   I just read the Whitepaper on it and plan to read the Admin 
Guide shortly...bur first I wanted to know your experiences on it.  

I thought that BMR was a block-level (image-based) type of backup..but reading 
the whitepaper it seems that is mainly an automated way to restore your 
system: it will partition your disk, format (create filesystem), copy OS 
files and then restore your data (everything based on previsouly gathered 
info of course).

My question for you is:   Is it that wonderful as it appears to be? If you use 
BMR...do you also still use any image-based backup (like Ghost or 
Clonezilla)?

Thanks in advance!

All the best,
Jorge
