3. If you’re remotely booting the computer from its own backup, do not change the MAC
address. However, if you’re booting a different computer from the selected computer’s
backup, enter the MAC address of the NIC of the computer that you want to remotely boot in
the MAC address text box.
4. From the Backup for booting remotely list, select the time and date of the backup that you
want to remotely boot from. To always boot from the most recent backup, select Latest
