<Mandar> This is not must to be done but instead recommended to be done. And this recommendation is from basic NBU backup perspective.
Using BMR it is possible for user to do Dissimilar System Restore and Dissimilar Disk Restore where user can change original system to different PM or VM instance; even you can change volume layouts, volume sizes etc.
In this case destination system would have significant changes compare to original. Hence it would be better to start from a fresh check-point.

<Mandar> It is possilbe to restore any point in time image using BMR. BMR can restore from any FULL, incremental-diff, incremental-cum and synthetic backup point.
Thanks.
