Abstract
A BIOS backup/recovery system includes a chassis housing a BIOS backup/recovery subsystem coupled to a primary and a secondary BIOS storage system. The BIOS backup/recovery subsystem begins initialization operations and determines whether the primary BIOS storage system includes customized MAC addresses. If so, the BIOS backup/recovery subsystem determines whether MAC addresses in the secondary BIOS storage system match the customized MAC addresses in the primary BIOS storage system and, if not, performs a BIOS backup operation that includes copying the customized MAC addresses in the primary BIOS storage system to the secondary BIOS storage system. If not, the BIOS backup/recovery subsystem determines whether MAC addresses in the secondary BIOS storage system match default MAC addresses in the primary BIOS storage system and, if not, performs a BIOS recovery operation that includes copying customized MAC addresses in the secondary BIOS storage system to the primary BIOS storage system.
